JoeRudi26 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 he 1988 World Series matched the Oakland Athletics against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the Dodgers upsetting the heavily favored A's to win the Series in five games. The most memorable moment of the 1988 World Series occurred when injured Dodgers MVP Kirk Gibson, who could barely walk due to injuries suffered during the National League Championship Series, hit a pinch-hit, walk-off home run against Athletics closer Dennis Eckersley in Game 1. Although Gibson's walk-off has become an icon of baseball, Orel Hersheiser was the heart and soul of the team. Hersheiser dominated baseball at the end of the 1988 season, setting the all time scoreless inning streak at 59 innings, recording five straight shutouts, leading the league with 23 wins and 267 innings, and winning the Cy Young and Gold Glove awards. He was the MVP of the NLCS, starting three games, getting the save for Game 4, and shutting out the Mets in Game 7. In the World Series, he shut out the heavily favored A's in Game 2, and pitched a two-run, complete game in the decisive Game 5 victory. ************************************************************************ GAME: The Show '13 1988 Rosters Sliders - Mine Difficulty - Veteran Fielding - Manual (Classic) Batting/Pitching View - Custom Fielding View - Medium Strikezone - Off Hot/Cold Zones - Off Pitching - Classic Hitting - Timing ************************************************************************ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabugo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I only know this because the guy played for the Yankees: - It's Luis Polonia instead of Louis. Still, everything looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks Carlos, this is actually pretty fun. I'm not sure if Oakland will take the series in 4 games, but my goal is to break BOTH of Gibson's legs so he can't get out of the dugout at all.
