My Take
Lackey is the ultimate big-game bulldog, the kind of competitor you genuinely wanted on the mound with everything on the line. Winning a clinching World Series game as a rookie for the Angels in 2002, then adding titles with the Red Sox and Cubs, puts him in incredibly rare company; the guy just kept showing up in October across decades. He pitched with a perpetual scowl and an obvious chip on his shoulder, which I loved. Never the flashiest, never the most beloved, but he was a horse who ate innings and elevated when it mattered. That competitive fire defined his entire career.
