<P> One of the most remarkable finishes to any World Series Game...a one - handed home run by Kirk Gibson! And the Dodgers have won it...five to four; and I'm stunned, Bill . I have seen a lot of dramatic finishes in a lot of sports, but this one might top almost every other one . </P> <P> Much was made about Eckersley's decision to throw an offspeed pitch to Gibson, with Joe Garagiola repeatedly noting that Gibson clearly couldn't catch up to a fastball . To his credit, Eckersley fielded every reporters' question after the game, mostly blaming himself . Years later, he recalled, "Somebody said that the Dodgers knew I threw a backdoor slider on 3--2 . I don't know if that's true or not . I didn't get to 3--2 that often, but if that's what the guy told him (Gibson), if that's what he had on his mind, good for him . Either way, it was a terrible slider ." </P> <P> The home run was included as a finalist in a Major League Baseball contest to determine the sport's "Greatest Moment of All - Time ." For years after the fact, it was regularly used in This Week in Baseball's closing montage sequence . An edited audio of Scully's 1988 call has been used in 2005 post-season action, in a TV ad featuring a recreational softball game, with a portly player essentially re-enacting that entire moment as he hits the softball over the right field fence to win the game . It was in competition on ESPN's SportsCenter for the Greatest Sports Highlight of All - Time . </P> <P> By the time Gibson returned to his locker for postgame interviews, Dodger bullpen coach Mark Cresse had taped the name of Roy Hobbs over Gibson's nameplate, in reference to Gibson's heroics mirroring those of the film slugger that Robert Redford had played in The Natural . Like Hobbs in the film's climactic scene, Gibson had represented the winning run when he came to the plate, had been down to his (and the team's) final strike and had homered to right field to win the game . </P>
