    Former Dodger pitcher Bob Welch passes today at 57! Sad day, I remember him striking out Reggie Jackson in the 1978 World series. RIP

    Sad indeed.

    Didn't realize he was the last to win more than 25.

    He wrote the book 'Five O'clock comes early'. It was about his battle with alcoholism in the late 70's. He was drinking during those two world series.

    One of the first pitchers I remember watching. Loved Welch.
