Former Santa Monica High and UCLA standout Tim Leary pitched 13 years in the big leagues and had his best season for the 1988 World Series-champion Dodgers, going 17-11 with a 2.91 earned-run average in 35 games.
The right-hander threw three scoreless innings in Game 1 of the 1988 Series against Oakland and 3 2/3 one-run innings in Game 3.
Now 58, Leary is serving as a guest analyst for the World Series, today with an assist from deputy sports editor Mike Hiserman.
