Best limp off home run in baseball history.

I also have fond memories of Gibson's home run off Goose Gossage in Game 4 of the 1984 World Series. I grew up a huge Cubs fan and back in 1984, I had an internship at IBM in Research Triangle Park, NC. One of my co-workers was from the Detroit suburbs (his dad was a big shot at Mercury) and he grew up a huge Tigers fan.

That was a great summer as the Tigers got off to a record setting start, and the Cubs, after acquiring Rick Sutcliffe finished strong and overtook the Mets. Unfortunately, the Cubs lost to the San Diego Padres in the NLCS (damn you Gary Templeton and Steve Garvey!). So, I was all too happy to see the Tigers beat the Padres ion the World Series.

And for the record:

Mr. Clutch == Kirk Gibson
Captain Ron == Kurt Russell

That Detroit team was stacked! Whitaker, Trammel, Gibson, Morris. Fuck that's two HOFers right there. I used to be more into baseball but I hardly know anybody who watches it any more nor friend's sons who play it. Sad. It is a great game when played right. But I honestly don't see any interest in baseball much any more. At least around here.....

Same here. I followed the Cubs religiously from the late 1960s through the mid-1980s.

That same summer of 1984, I also worked with a couple guys from Baltimore, who were huge Orioles fans. So, we all took a road trip up to Baltimore to watch a weekend series between the Tigers and Orioles.

I even followed the Mariners during the Edgar Martinez (I was sitting next to his fiance when he got his first major league hit)/Ken Griffey Jr (my nephew's favorite player)/early Ichiro (my son's favorite player) days, but other than the Cubs in the world series, I don't think I've watched a baseball game on TV or listened to one on the radio in 12 or 13 years.

Growing up, I always thought Kurt was the coolest guy in the world. He would have been a MLB baseball player too but he hurt his leg. He was short but had a great feel for the game that he got from his dad.

He was a pretty good player. I was playing college baseball at the time and went down and watched the tryouts for the Mavericks just to see the competition for pro baseball. How far he could have gone we will never know as many players I played with and against were outstanding players but could never advanced very far as baseball is like a meat market. Any sign of struggling they would bring in the next guy and give him a chance. Of course how many chances you get is usually based on how much money they signed you for. If they have little invested then it's "next".

I was also a huge baseball fan and my wife actually got us hooked on the Cubs when she was pregnant with my son. It was during the time of Grace, Dawson Sarge Mathews and my favorite Cub, Ryne Sandberg. Today, I just pretty much watch MLB playoffs and college baseball playoffs.

The more you know! Thanks fo that, I love that kind of shit. In Greek culture the eldest child gets the father’s first name as their middle name. So my girlfriend in HS, her name was Dina WILLIAM George!!!! I’d always call her “BILL” during sex though.....
