Nope, in 1993, although the Jays won the WS and Morris received a WS ring, (his 4th) he was not used at all in the post season due to injury.
Our own Mike Timlin has 4 rings and pitched in all 4 World Series. Twice with us and twice with the Red Sox.
During his managing career Cito Gaston managed two players that he was teammates with during his playing career. Who are they?
You got it, well done!!!!!! During Saturday's 30th anniversary festivities, Gaston mentioned the fact he managed 2 of his past teammates. Winfield was pretty easy to figure out, Parker not so much. I had forgotten about Parker's time as a Jay.
When I was a kid, Cito Gaston was still called Clarence. He had one great season for the San Diego Padres, (1970), but was mediocre the rest of his career.
Cito Gaston was the 59th pick, (out of 60), in the 1968 National League Expansion Draft. Which other former Jays' manager was also selected in that draft?

Correct! Jimy Williams was drafted by the Expos with the 32nd pick, but never played in the Majors after 1967. He is not to be confused with Jim Williams, who was selected with pick #44, and had 2 RBIs for the Padres in 1969.
