Bartlett Giamatti, another 'dog from Yale, was named this summer to succeed Peter Ueberroth as baseball commissioner, and now Orel "The Bulldog" Hershiser has led the Los Angeles Dodgers to the World Series Championship and, in the process, was named MVP of the series following his complete game, 5-2...
The Dodgers once again continued their power-surge which has plagued Oakland's pitching throughout the series.
The Dodgers increased their lead to 5-1 in the sixth inning against Oakland reliever Gene Nelson, who entered the game in the fifth.
The rest was up to Hershiser, who finished out the game and the series for the Dodgers.
The Dodgers pitcher, who finished the year with 59 consecutive scoreless innings--breaking the old record of former Dodger great, Don Drysdale, allowed only two runs in the eighteen innings he pitched in the series. Hershiser also drilled three hits in the Game 2 win.
