Early career
Stewart was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 16th round of the 1975 amateur draft and made his Major League debut on September 22, 1978. He did not find his niche in the Major Leagues until some time later. After some time in the minors, he resurfaced in the Major Leagues again in 1981. Teams were unsure how he would be best utilized, and Stewart split time starting and relieving for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers and Philadelphia Phillies in the early to mid-1980s. In 1986, the Oakland Athletics signed him after he was released by the Phillies. Brooklyn Dodgers redirects here. ...

Best years Stewart's homecoming would prove to do him good. In 1987 he won 20 games while posting an impressive 3.68 ERA and striking out 205 batters. His new-found stardom would not be short-lived as he won 20 or more games in each of the next three seasons (1988-1990) and led a powerful Oakland Athletics club to the World Series each of those years. Remarkably, he pitched over 250 innings in each of those four seasons. In 1989, the Athletics won the World Series championship, with Stewart being named World Series MVP. In 1990, the A's won their third straight pennant, beating the Boston Red Sox in the American League Championship Series, and Stewart was named the ALCS MVP. However, Oakland would shockingly be swept in the World Series by a vastly inferior Cincinnati Reds squad. 1987 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
