Pat Murphy and Kevin Cash faced off in a World Series once before…
Murphy coached Arizona State against Cash’s Florida State team in the 1998 College World Series.
Today in 1975: Luis Tiant threw 163 pitches to grab his second World Series victory in just four days, helping the Red Sox even the series against the Reds.
Today in 1988: Barely able to walk, Kirk Gibson gave us a home run celebration we’ve all imitated.
This pinch-hit, walk-off in Game 1 was his only at-bat of the World Series.
50 years ago, today: Chris Chambliss belted a walk-off homer to send the Yankees to the World Series.
Due to fans rushing the field, he was initially unable to touch home plate. He returned several minutes later with a police escort to make the home run official.
Today in 1960: Bill Mazeroski hits the only World Series Game 7 walk-off home run in history.
Pittsburgh takes the title with a 10-9 victory over the Yankees.
Today in 1972, Reggie Jackson stole home for the only time in his career during a pennant-clinching win vs Detroit. However, he tore his hamstring on the play and was forced to miss the World Series.
