Todd Worrell

Professional career
St. Louis Cardinals
Worrell was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1st round of the 1982 MLB Draft out of Biola University. He made his MLB debut on August 28, 1985, pitching 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief against the Cincinnati Reds. He picked up his first save on September 13 against the Chicago Cubs. Worrell saved five games down the stretch and compiled an earned run average of 2.91, then pitched effectively in the postseason against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS and the Kansas City Royals in the 1985 World Series. He was still eligible as a rookie the following season, and his 9-10 record with 36 saves netted him the 1986 National League Rookie of the Year Award, as well as the National League Rolaids Relief Man Award. He was on the mound when the winning run in Game 7 of the 1987 World Series scored, though he was not tagged with the loss as the runner who scored it had been inherited from another pitcher. Worrell became the first relief pitcher to save 30 or more games in each of his first three full seasons.

Did You Really
by: PennywiseTell me all your problems
I'll save your soul
It could make you feel better
But you never really know
Don't give up on tomorrow
Save your scene
It may not get any better
Living isn't free
Offer up solutions
Do what you wanna do
Remove all of the people who tell you lies about what you're going through
But did you really wanna die
This question now keeps repeating in my mind
A shot heard in the night an unheard cry
A fatal fight
But did you really wanna die
What did you hope to find
Did you want to find the answers somewhere floating in the night
Did you really wanna die?
Tell me I'm forgiven
Save my soul
One thing I've regretted is I'll never really know
Value what's been given to you and me
How many times we said it
Living isn't free
Don't think you can make it
I can understand
A phone call far away
To lend a helping hand
Don't think I can make it
Give it one more try
Don't think I can take it
Can't believe you'd really wanna die
I'd Help you give it one more try
Did you really wanna die
Help you give it one more try
I know you didn't wanna die
From words that you would write
Now they're the only thing that help me make it through the night
