I grew up in Southern California and am a lifelong LA Dodger fan. I was going to UC Berkeley during the 1988 World Series and went out to a bar with a few of my friends to watch Game 1 of the World Series. My friends were giving me quite a ribbing as the game went later and later. They kept saying that as soon as Eck got in the game was over. Well, things got down to the last out and Gibson limped up to the plate. The crowd in the bar was loudly cheering for Eckersley to finish off Game 1. When Gibby connected I let out a primal gutteral yell of pure joy. The rest of the bar got deathly quiet. It was an amazing momemt.

Until I had to walk home. Scariest walk of my life.
