Philadelphia Phillies executive Dave Dombrowski is focused on winning a World Series championship for owner John Middleton as the team heads toward another postseason appearance. Now 70 years old, the executive has secured 10 playoff berths and two World Series titles during his career but remains driven by the desire to secure a championship in Philadelphia.
