The Bronx Zoo

Randolph was a primary offensive component of the Yankees' teams of the late 1970s which played in three consecutive World Series, winning two in 1977 and 1978.

Paired with Bucky Dent, and his timely hitting as the second hitter in the line-up behind Mickey Rivers allowed the Yankees line-up to be a powerful force.

Willie Randolph began his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1975.

During a 13-year run with the Bronx Bombers Randolph would eventually become the 8th team captain in the franchise's history.

Randolph played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Oakland Athletics, Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets.

He won a third World Series ring as a player in 1990 with Oakland.
