I recall being a 19 year old kid, hitch hiking from LA to Seattle and being picked up by a guy in San Francisco. I could not help but notice his ring, a World Series Ring. I asked about it. He said he played for the Orioles against the Dodgers a few years back (I was a Dodger fan, Orioles had won in foour).

I asked him his name, but had to admit I had never heard of him.

He wasn't offended, he said he was a relief pitcher and never made an appearance.

But he had the ring!

I remember that 1966 World Series.

I think except for the first game, in which Moe Drabowsky pitched about 6 innings of relief, that the Orioles pitchers pitched complete game victories in the remaining games.

So the Orioles bullpen was not needed in that series.

Was the late 90's and was on a flight from St. Louis to San Jose for business. Was sitting across the aisle from a guy that I thought looked familiar but no real idea. Saw this really nice ring on his finger with a big ruby in it. Asked him if it was a 300 ring (perfect game in bowling for those of you in rio Linda). The guy takes the ring off and hands it to me...1982 Workd Series ring, I new immediately it was Ron Jacober. He was on his way to a Sharks v. Bues game in SJC.

I still can't believe he handed that thing to me, must have weighed a pound....nothing like the big ass rings today though. I had a nightmare that I dropped it and the ring rolled down the aisle in the plane.
