As a 34 year old, I had never seen anything like the Gibson HR when it happened and still have seen nothing else like it 20 years later (Save maybe the Boise State Fiesta Bowl game a few years ago). I remember I was heavy into Strat O Matic Baseball that year with my friends and Eckersley was unhittable. Possibly the best year for a closer in ML history and the situation for Gibson was the closest thing to a story book ending as anything in Sports.
If I was a billionaire, I would have bought em!
Congrats to Chad and Doug, now you guys just need Roy Hobbs' jersey from "The Natural" to go with it!
