Photograph caption reads, "Kirk Gibson celebrates his dramatic homer in the opening game of the World Series that gave the Dodgers yet another amazing come-from-behind victory. With Los Angeles trailing 4-3, thanks to a grand slam by Jose Canseco, Gibson's two-run shot over the right field fence came with two outs in the ninth. Gibson sat out the start of the game because of an injury, but came off the bench to win it." Photograph dated October 16, 1988.; Similar to image 00063605.
