1984 World Series Game 5 Ticket Stub; Autographed Sunday, October 14, 1984: one of the greatest days in Detroit Tigers history. Kirk Gibson's homerun in the 1988 World Series when he was with the Dodgers is known as one of the greatest homeruns in MLB history, but this homer from Gibby is much more meaningful to Tiger fans.
The Tigers were already ahead in the game, and on their way to winning the World Series in five games, but this upperdeck bullet put an explanation point on an amazing season. It's a classic confrontation; the cocky kid Gibson, and the confident veteran and future HOFer, Goose Gossage. This time, Gibby won. The build up to the home is seen in the footage below. It's classic Sparky Anderson.
