daddysheroes — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 22:49:41 +0000

The New York Mets dominated the National League during the 1986 regular season, but their magical run seemed destined for a disappointing ending at the hands of the Boston Red Sox in Game 6 of the World Series. With the Red Sox on the verge of an historic win that would finally dispel The Curse of the Bambino, the scrappy Mets managed to mount one of the most unbelievable and improbable comebacks in baseball history. The lasting image of Bill Buckner's disappointment in the wake of the Mets' celebration makes Game 6 of the 1986 World Series one most unforgettable moments in sports history.

Gibby's Homer, The 1988 World Series

daddysheroes — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 22:48:30 +0000

The Dodgers were huge underdogs in the 1988 World Series against the A's, the most dominant team in baseball. While many thought the Dodgers were outmatched by the power of the Bash Brothers and Dennis Eckersley's masterful pitching, Tommy Lasorda and Kirk Gibson had other ideas. Kirk Gibson's game-winning home run in Game 1 of the World Series propelled the Dodgers to the Championship. It was one of the greatest moments in sports history.
