1988 World Series, Game 1 - Kirk Gibson makes like "The Natrual"

October 15, 1988 - Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA

The Dodgers trailed 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth, facing the future Hall of Famer, Dennis Eckersley. With a runner on, Tommy Lasorda sent in a hobbled Kirk Gibson to pinch hit. In a scene straight out of Hollywood, the reigning NL MVP delivered with the game-winning two-run homer in his only at bat of the World Series.
