George Frazier’s legacy
Frazier began his professional career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1979, but it was after a trade to the New York Yankees that his career began to shine. He went to the 1981 World Series with the Yankees, though they lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Traded to the Chicago Cubs, he won a division title in 1984. Frazier finally got a World Series win in his second season with the Twins and the final season of his playing career. He was an asset in Game 4 as he pitched two scoreless innings against the Cardinals.
After Frazier’s retirement, he worked as a color analyst briefly for the Twins before landing with the Colorado Rockies in 1998, providing commentary until 2015. Later, Frazier worked for Fox Sports.
