Mike Jorgensen - First Post-season

First Post-season

Jorgensen's second go around with the Mets lasted until June 15, 1983. The Mets sold him to the Atlanta Braves the day they acquired first baseman Keith Hernandez from the St. Louis Cardinals for pitchers Neil Allen and Rick Ownbey. A year to the day later, the Braves traded him with Ken Dayley to the St. Louis Cardinals for Ken Oberkfell. With the Cardinals, he reached the World Series for the first time in his career in 1985. It was also the final season of his career. Coincidentally, Andy Hassler was also a member of this team. This was also his first World Series and the final year of his career.
