re: This Date in Baseball History

quote:

---

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.

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
