That was A GAME too! A's lead 11-0 after three, KC ties it at 11 in the top of the ninth and A's win it in the bottom of the 9th on a walk-off home run. swe-EEEET.

My favorite A's game of all time was Kirk Gibson's homer in the 88 series... :p

I still remember that. My old boss had season tickets to the A's back in the early 70s when they won 3 World Series crowns. I was a flunky so he never let me use the tickets, but he did give me his ticket stub for one of the 1972 WS games. I still have it too.

True story of the Gibson homer......

My youngest was born in April 1988. She was one of those beelzebub babies that have the inhuman ability to stay awake for days at a time and are usually sleepy only when you HAVE to be awake.

As a long time Dodger fan I cannot miss the WS in 1988, and I sit down to enjoy game 1. About inning number 7 my ex-wife comes into the room and hands off my cherubic little angel from hell to my potato chip encrusted arms.

I get a bottle to go with the baby so things aren't too bad, but my team is losing and I HATE that. So I rock away in my steaming mood trying desperately to put this kid to sleep so I can get back to the greasy chips and beer.

By now the ninth inning arrives and by some miracle the Dodgers get a run and a base runner. The drama starts to unfold... I'm rocking.... Kirk hobbles to the plate... I'm rocking .... I look down and the little demented package is FREAKIN ASLEEP! Almost simultaneous with this revelation is Gibson's wristed slap over the right field wall.

I want to scream! I want to yell! I haven't slept in 6 months!!

So I stand up with the baby and walk slowly around the house whispering "no F...ing way", "no F...ing way",   "no F...ing way",  "no F...ing way", while Gibson limped around the bases.

LOL that moment destroyed me. I watched that game with about ten other baseball fans, half Dodgers fans and half A's fans. After Gibson hit his homer the Dodgers fans had a dog pile in celebration as we A's fans sat in stunned silence.

Yeah, at the cost of some good Absolut Vodka!  My wife said that I should just open up a "Yankee" account at the liquor store for my yearly bets with you! :rolleyes: :)
