 WORLD  SERIES  1988

 
Sometimes the favorite doesn’t win
the World Series. Sometimes the
Dodgers are the underdogs.
 
That’s what happened in 1988 – the
Dodgers winning 4 out of 5 games:
5-4, 6-0 – 2-1 [Athletics], 4-3, 6-2.
 
Kirk Gibson, with 2 banged up legs
comes out of the dugout to hit with
2 outs in the 9^th and hits the winning home run.
 
Dennis Eckersley was having a great
season – but not that night – when he gave up
that 1^st game of the World Series walk off Home Run.
