  I was 14 in 1988. A freshman in High School in Central California, surrounded by A's and Giants fans. This was a magical time.

  Hershiser throws 29 pitches in the 1st inning alone and still gets a complete game shutout in Game 7. Unbelievable.

  There is nothing like that LA crowd when they are really fired up

  Always trips me out to see Gibson shaking hands with Valenzuela. Who would have thought what was to happen 3 days later. The is the team that made me fall in love with Baseball.

  I was 11 at the time. A few days after this game, I attended Game 1 of the 1988 World Series on October 15, 1988.

  I was 5 years old when this happened, and this series are my earliest baseball memories.  Still bleed Dodger blue all these years later

  That season the Mets beat the Dodgers 10 out of 11, but I recall McCarver said before the series that he felt the Dodgers had a good chance because their pitching was as good , and he also felt the Mets made too many outs in the air and relied too much on the long ball.  Boy was he right.

  Great classic game.  Me being a big NY Mets fan was very disappointed that we did not win the World Series in 1988.  Orel Hershiser was hot done  the stretch and was awesome against the Mets and As.  It is over 32 years later and I still cannot believe we lost to the Dodgers in the NLCS.  It shows how difficult it is to win a championship (we still have 86).  I only have admiration for Orel Hershiser.  Keep them classics coming.

  Hershiser so dominating that year. Had a pretty good  career, could have been a HOFer if not for the rotator cuff injury. Made a good comeback while with the Indians.

  As a die-hard Mets fan,this marked the "Waterloo" of Mets 1980's contention!
