Welcome back to GenX Classic Sports, the podcast where we dive deep into the unforgettable sports moments that defined our generation. 

In this episode today, we’re going back to one of the most dramatic moments not just in baseball history, but in all of sports history—the legendary home run Kirk Gibson hit in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.

If you’re a GenXer, you probably remember exactly where you were when it happened. It wasn’t just a baseball game—it was a Hollywood script playing out in real life. And for Dodgers fans, it was a miracle.

So, let’s rewind the clock to October 15th, 1988, Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles.
