David Wells, affectionately known as “Boomer”, spent 21 seasons from 1987-2007 playing in the majors for the Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers, Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds, New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers. Wells enjoyed much of his success playing for New York and Toronto, where he was part of World Series-winning teams with each franchise, in 1992 with the Blue Jays and 1998 with the Yankees. In the latter season, he was named ALCS MVP after recording two wins with 18 strikeouts and only allowing five runs over the course of 15 2/3 innings. Wells is tied with Kenny Lofton for appearing in the MLB postseason with six different teams.
Another one of Wells’ most memorable moments came in 1998 as well when he pitched a perfect game against the Minnesota Twins on May 17, 1998. At the time, Wells was only the 15th player in MLB history and second Yankees player to ever pitch a perfect game, joining Don Larsen (David Cone would become the third Yankees player to achieve the feat in 1999). Over the course of his career, Wells was named an All-Star three times, including in 2000 with Toronto when he led the American League in wins with 20. After retiring from playing, Wells served as an assistant baseball coach at San Diego’s Point Loma High School, his alma mater, and worked in broadcasting for TBS, FoxSports.com and the YES Network.
