   I believe Orosco did retire after last season with the Padres.  If I remember it correctly, his rookie year was either in '78 or '79.  To be honest, I'm surprised Orosco lasted as long as he did.  Jesse had a few good seasons early on with the Mets, but he was terrible when he arrived to the Dodgers in the late '80's.  At that time, he was best known for being a prankster, most notably putting a bunch of ink in Kirk Gibson's hat.  Gibson was not amused and they had a major brawl.
