Mark Eichhorn had a tumultuous road to the Majors, first making it in 1982, but shoulder issues kept him from another MLB Game until 1986.

Eichhorn found a role for the Jays in late relief, winning 24 Games from 1986 to 1988 and leading the American League in Games Pitched (89) in 1987).  Toronto retooled and sold his contract to Atlanta in 1989, but the then-Angel was traded back to Toronto before the 1992 Trade Deadline.  Eichhorn was used in middle relief, and he helped Toronto in their back-to-back World Series wins in 1992 and 1993.

Eichhorn left as a Free Agent for Baltimore after the second World Series, and the Pitcher threw in 279 Games with a 3.03 ERA.
