Dan, the 88 Dodgers' win was even more incredible when you consider that after Gibson's one AB in which he hit the HR off Eck, he didn't play the remainder of the WS. So the Dodgers were left with a roster in which the leading "power" hitters were Mike Marshall and John Shelby (and Marshall didn't play all that much in the WS). Incredible pitching (mostly Hershiser and the Dodgers bullpen) beat a fearsome lineup.
