1984 World Series - Aftermath

Aftermath

Three players set World Series hitting records during the 1984 World Series.

Less than twenty years after winning the 1984 World Series Most Valuable Player Award, Alan Trammell would become manager of the Detroit Tigers.

The Detroit Tigers would not return to the World Series until 2006, six years after Comerica Park opened. However Trammell was fired before the season began and was replaced by Jim Leyland, who won a World Series ring managing the Florida Marlins in 1997.

This was the first of two World Series appearances for Padres outfielder and Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn. He would later lead the Padres back to the World Series in 1998, but were swept by the New York Yankees. Teammate and backup catcher Bruce Bochy served as manager of the 1998 Padres.
