        Greg Gagne was the starting shortstop on both.

        The bench was very much the same. Gene Larkin, Al Newman, and Randy Bush... but I think the bench catchers were different.

        I think the entire pitching staff was different. Unless it was someone like Juan Berenguer or Allan Anderson. I cannot remember.
        Your Second Base Coach
        Garvey, Lopes, Russell, and Cey started 833 times and the Dodgers went 498-335, for a .598 winning percentage. That’s equal to a team going 97-65 over a season. On those occasions when at least one of them missed his start, the Dodgers were 306-267-1, which is a .534 clip. That works out to a team going 87-75. So having all four of them added 10 wins to the Dodgers per year.

          I figured this thread would go quickly. You just named all the remaining players. For the record, Allan Anderson was the lone pitching holdover, and he's the only one on the list who didn't play in either World Series, while the other seven each played in both.

          On a cool but meaningless note, this is post #1,991 for me. How fitting.
