Dane Iorg, right, who played for the 1985 Kansas City Royals, runs past Jack Clark, who played for the 1985 St. Louis Cardinals, after hitting a two-run home run during a softball game Saturday, May 22, 2010, in Kansas City, Mo. The game was part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the 1985 World Series between the two teams.

SALT LAKE CITY — It’s been 33 years since Dane Iorg made his star turn in the World Series — since he stepped up and delivered a game-winning, ninth-inning, broken-bat single against his good friend and former teammates — and yet every day the baseball cards still arrive in his mailbox, along with the coupons and bills.
