Ward shared stopper duties with Tom Henke in the Blue Jays bullpen in 1988 and 1989, and picked up wins as a middle reliever (9-3 in 1988). A wild, hard thrower, he was the Braves' first-round pick in the June 1982 draft and was traded for Doyle Alexander in July 1986. (SFS)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » October 20, 1992: The Blue Jays take the World Series lead with a 3–2 win over Atlanta on Candy Maldonado's bases–loaded single in the 9th inning. Duane Ward gets credit for the victory in relief of Juan Guzman, and Joe Carter and Kelly Gruber homer for Toronto. In the 4th inning, Blue Jays' OF Devon White's sensational catch nearly results in a triple play. Atlanta OF Deion Sanders was ruled safe on the play, but replays show he should have been the 3rd out. Braves manager is ejected from the game in the 9th, becoming the 1st manager to be thrown out of a Series game since 1985. By starting in RF, Toronto's Carter becomes the 1st player to start the 1st three games of a World Series at three different positions. He started Game One at 1B and Game Two in LF.
