The biggest moment for me was Kirk Gibson's HR off the unhittable Eckersley in the '88 World Series.

Having watched the whole playoffs that year, I woulda bet everything I had that the A's were gonna sweep the Dodgers.

When Gibson limped up to the plate, we were wondering what the hell was he doing there, he couldn't even walk. Then he stunned the whole room, I still can't believe it. The Dodgers used that mojo to win the series.

Jack Buck "....this is gonna be a home run. <crowd goes nuts> I can't believe what I just saw."
