Jesse Orosco Relives the 1986 World Series & His Iconic Glove Toss

Jesse, look at Bobby.

You really had probably one of the greatest postseasons of any reliever in the playoffs against Houston.

You won three games.

I think you're the only reliever to win three games.

You saved two wins in the World Series.

So really, we're responsible for five of the eight wins we had in the postseason.

That's a pretty good accomplishment, huh?

Oh, I'm very proud of that.

To see what was going through this whole thing, I Basically kind of had the jitters inside.

It just felt good and ready to play.

Knowing I had an amazing team behind me.

And so this is what's taking us all the way to the end and really enjoying this.

Jesse, what made the 86 team special? With a club record 108 games, come back from the dead a couple of times.

And you're my wife.

A lot of different personalities, different this, but what made it? special.

We really led from, you know, we, I think we were two and three and we lost like 51 games the rest of the year.

What made this team special to your mind?

Uh, just, uh, the, the guys we had, it was amazing.

You know, we had, we had leaders, we had other guys, everybody kind of molded together.

Everything was going well.

Uh, you know, Keith is, uh, uh, was, uh, a big thing for us.

Uh, you know, and, uh, Gary Carter and then so on, all the players just got better and better.

Um, we, uh, we bonded somehow it came fast after what happened the last couple years we you know we were kind of struggling trying to get to that that next run and it couldn't happen and and davy johnson came out and just whatever he did it worked and uh it was um it was better sailing there and to have this infield we had the outfield we had all the players it was we we were you know we were really hoping it was going to happen at some point because we did have a lot of a lot of great players and a lot of backup on us i
