This is depressing. Welch, Stewart. Moore.and Honeycutt will always be my favorite rotation of all time. Go A's.

I remember the World Series game in '78.

Which one? The one where he struck out Reggie in game 1 or the one where Reggie got his revenge and boomed it out of the park in the game clincher.

I was a huge Oakland fan growing up, and he was my favorite. I caught him a bit after the Dodgers run, but damn that was a good staff and season he had. What Muck said above, that was a ridiculous rotation Oakland had. That Dave Stewart stare.
