A PSA-graded ticket stub from the night an injured Kirk Gibson delivered one of baseball’s most improbable home runs.
Why This Ticket Matters
On October 15, 1988, the Los Angeles Dodgers trailed the Oakland Athletics, 4–3, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning of World Series Game 1. Hobbled by injuries to both legs and unable to start, Gibson came off the bench to face dominant closer Dennis Eckersley. After a tense plate appearance, Gibson launched a two-run walk-off home run into the right-field seats at Dodger Stadium.
It was Gibson’s only plate appearance of the Series. The Dodgers won the game, 5–4, and captured the championship in five games. His painful trip around the bases and celebratory arm pump remain among the most recognizable scenes in World Series history.
