He was the right guy, at the right time, with the right team. If today's playoff system existed back then, might have won 2, 3, or 4 World Series in a row. God Speed!

VERY few could've handled the massive egos of Darryl Strawberry, Lenny Dykstra, Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, Dwight Gooden, George Foster, Wally Backman and still had to deal with "Mr. Perfect", Ron Darling. Let's not forget Fred Wilpon, the media...
