1988 WS game 1. I saw Kirk smack that ball out. Me and my uncle were grabbing our last things to leave asap to beat the traffic and I looked up for a brief second and saw that baby leave the park. I remember watching Tommy Lasorda jumping up and down coming out of the dug out. To be honest I never even noticed Kirk Gibson doing his fist pump thing he did. It was awesome. Oh and I also caught a home run ball from my favorite baseball player of all time--Mike Marshall in the same year. And I am not talking about Dr. Marshall. I am talking about good ol' #5 Mike Marshall. He was a player that stayed below the radar for the most part, but us local Dodger fans (and far far away fans) sure did know who he was. Sorry for the long post. It just took me back to easier times because I was 11 and had no bills. Great topic
