"I don't believe what I just saw!"

Why?  Because my wife doesn't want to hear it, my kids aren't old enough to care (yet), and I have to tell somebody.

Title - I decided today, on the 24th anniversary, that Kirk Gibson's 3-2 homerun into the right field pavilion of Dodger Stadium off of Dennis Eckersley has been the greatest moment of my sports viewing career.  I was 10.  It probably should have been the worst managerial decision in World Series history.  After the first few pitches everyone in America was embarrassed for Tommy Lasorda.  He ended up looking like a genius.

Gibson didn't have another at bat the rest of the Series.

I hope that these short essays and anecdotes can every once in a while find a lucky swing and limp around the bases pumping their fists.  Chances are, most of them will end up more like the first few pitches which Gibby dinged in the dirt while he grimaced in pain.  Either way, my wife doesn't care to hear it.  I'm glad you do.
