Nicknamed "Bedrock", he played from 1981 to 1995 with the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, San Francisco Giants and Minnesota Twins and has since retired.

His best season came in 1987 when he posted a 5-3 record for the Phillies with a 2.83 Earned Run Average and a league-leading 40 saves and was named the National League Cy Young Award winner.

As a member of the Giants, he won the 1990 Willie Mac Award honoring his spirit and leadership.
