Kirk Gibson seals up 1984 World Series for Detroit. October 14th, 1984.

What is amazing is how fast Gossage worked. None of all the nonsense between pitches that goes on today. Get the ball and throw.

Sparky Anderson yelling at Gibson saying "they don't wanna walk you" and giving him the sign to swing away and Sparkys laugh after Gibson hits the home run never gets old

[@paultreskow1613]

Kirk Gibson is everything I love about baseball.

[@GetBenched2010]

DON'T WALK HIM! DON'T WALK HIM!

Kirk Gibson is still my hero today. I was 15 years old when I watched this on TV. Kirk is in the battle of his life today. His humility today is his greatest strength.

[@agentsmith7866]

Kirk Gibson definitely the best clutch hitter of his time.

[@buddmannable]

That was one incredible, unforgettable summer......I think it is safe to say we will never see another 35-5 start in MLB.

Kirk Gibson hits a game winning HR in 1984 against a future member of the Hall Of Fame, then goes to 1988 and does it again, in consecutive at bats !

[@jackhastings9800]

The Jack Buck call is abysmal compared to Vinny! Buck STOMPS on the fan reaction and make it about him. Like Vin said, after Gibby crossed the plate "In the year that has been so improbable, the Impossible has happened!

[@mrg8581]

Rest in peace Vin Scully.

[@motorcitymanman7711]

I remember watching this on TV.

One of the happiest days of my life, the 2nd time I saw the Tigers win it all.

[@dougB4454]

Kirk Gibson one of the greatest athletes of all time. Tough and competitive.

[@jetsamperes5762]

That '84 team went wire to wire in first place and started 35-5. Should have had a couple of World Series years. Almost 40 years ago and they haven't won one since but this moment never gets old.

[@brycewilson1909]

my dad still talks about this team alllll the time....legendary stuff

[@nickcurran3105]

1984, man what a year. Perhaps the greatest year in the United States in the 20th Century

[@gmartinz01]

My gosh, this is almost FORTY YEARS ago!!!!!!

[@jamesm895]

Absolutely love how quickly Gossage works here.

[@jerrymeeuwse859]

Went to a Tigers spring training game in Lakeland that year. Talked to Gibby about 10 minutes. One thing he said was he had a good feeling about the upcoming season. Boy was he right.

I was in the navy...out at sea on a submarine..we were sitting waiting to get an update...finally after 7 hours after game..we got news and sports..lot of tiger fans on my boat were very happy. Remember like it was yesterday
