Message: [QUOTE="Sailor111, post: 5293590, member: 11889"] 1988 World Series Game 1. Won a raffle at Naval Station Long Beach and got two tickets to the seats the base had at the time. Second row by First Base. Went with a co-worker. Tickets sold for $50. I was offered $1500 by another co-worker but decided to go. When Oakland lined up before the game I noticed the size of their players. McGuire, Canseco, Baylor, Parker...it looked like a mismatch but somehow, we hung tough until the end. Bottom of ninth and when Gibson came out the stadium shook. I remember when he hit the ball, I looked out to right field and Canseco just dropped his head and started jogging in. That is the loudest I have ever heard Dodger Stadium. It shook like an earthquake. I'll remember the arch on that ball the rest of my life...unbelievable. [/QUOTE]
