Of course, you remember Kirk Gibson’s home run in Game 1 of the World Series.
What about the other improbable moments of that championship season in 1988?
There was a pinch-hit, walk-off single in the 11th inning by pitcher Tim Leary in mid-August. There was another walk-off victory a week later, when Gibson scored from second base on a wild pitch. And there was Mike Scioscia’s ninth-inning home run off Dwight Gooden that sent Game 4 of the National League Championship Series into extra innings.
That entire season was magical.
