October 15, 1988
In his only plate appearance in the Fall Classic, a limping Kirk Gibson, appearing as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning of Game 1, sends two-out, 3-2 back-door slider from the A's relief ace Dennis Eckersley over the right field fence. It's the first time a World Series game is ever decided on a come-from-behind home run in the final inning.

Could be argued as the most memorable play in baseball history.

I have no vested interest in either team, and I think this is one of the greatest sporting moments I have ever witnesses in my life. What a great moment.

I was sitting in my 1988 Ford Tempo on Carrollton at the Rally's eating a burger and fries listening to the end of that game.....never forget where I was at that moment for the rest of my life
and not a A's or Dodgers fan at all

I was watching that as a kid with my dad. Not being a fan of either team at all, I still think it's one of the greatest moments that I've ever witnessed in sports. I mean dude could barely walk to the plate. Unbelievable.
