Kirk Gibson Picture - 1988 World Series Home Run 8x10 Dirt Collage

Product Description

In the 1988 World Series against the Oakland Athletics Kirk Gibson who was later named the 1988 NL MVP saw only a single plate appearance. It was one of the most memorable and oft-replayed in baseball history. Gibson had severely injured both legs during the League Championship Series and was not expected to play at all. In Game 1 on October 15 1988 at Dodger Stadium with the Dodgers trailing by a score of 4-3 Gibson used pure upper-body strength to smack a 3-2 backdoor slider over the right-field fence. He hobbled around the bases and pumped his fist as his jubilant teammates stormed the field. The Dodgers won the game 5-4. This two-run home run was so memorable that it was included as a finalist in a Major League Baseball contest to determine the sport's “Greatest Moment of All-Time”. This collage has a capsule of MLB authenticated Dodger Stadium dirt. Dodgers-Steiner Letter of Authenticity Included. Comes fully certified with Certificate of Authenticity and tamper-evident hologram. Also backed by SportsMemorabilia.com's Authenticity Guarantee.
