averyj Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 On another note, I wonder what the Dodgers will do for a memorial on their uniforms... You know, I rarely visit ccslsc anymore. I really should fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The man played a huge role on the 1993 Phillies, working with Schilling, Danny Jackson, Mulholland, Tommy Greene, David West, and even Ben Rivera.He was also pitching coach for the Twins, teaching Frank Viola the "circle change", which helped him win a Cy Young and the 1987 World Series MVP.We loved "the Pod" here and our local sports columnist has lots of funny, old days stories about Podres.

mantleisthebest7 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Man, that's too bad. He was a great guy. And a great Dodger. He'll always be one of the greatest Dodgers to pitch for the team. It's sad to see the Boys of Summer go like this. HOFer Duke Snider is just about the only Dodger star still alive from that era. That's too bad.
