Todd Stottlemyre (3:08), two-time World Series champion pitcher with the Blue Jays, reflects on the life and career of his former teammate Duane Ward, his presence in the clubhouse and on the mound, the pitcher's game-day routines, and the importance of the 1991 season and its impact on the following back-to-back World Series wins.
