The home runs off Tommy John and Bob Welch either hit the back of the bullpen, the divider, or cleared the enclosure altogether. I could never find verification of the measurements. At that point, only Wilver Stargell had ever hit a home run completely out of Dodger Stadium ⚾

His team was one strike away from giving him the opportunity to hit some home runs in the 1986 World Series; but it was a home run by Dave Henderson that crushed the hearts of the crestfallen Angels.

[@MrNewktrane]

I remember that like it was yesterday or 6 minutes ago. I was pulling for that special veteran bunch of Angels to finally get to the World Series at last. I wanted so much to see that 40 yrs young Mr. October in the World Series one more time. It would have been great That would have been something - that 86' Angels squad against the young 86 Mets team.

[@FischerFan]

@@MrNewktrane I live in Canada and was over at my aunt's house watching the game. When the Angels had the Red Sox one out from elimination, I just had this strange premonition that the Red Sox were not done. Henderson was at the plate and I thought he might hit a double to, at least, tie the game; but he knocked it out of the yard to silence the Disneyland faithful. I know that, to this day, Bobby Grich still gets choked up about the game and, especially, about Donnie Moore.

[@MrNewktrane]

@@FischerFan I wanted those great veterans on that team like Grich, Bob Boone, former Pirate pitcher the Candy Man, Gary Pettis, Doug DeCinces, Don Sutton, George Hendrick, Brian Downing, young buck Wally Joyner, Donnie Moore, & Mr. October - to not only get to the 86 Series but win it all.

[@FischerFan]

@@MrNewktrane The Angels have always been a big enough market in that they could sign big names like Carew, Lynn, Jackson, Sutton, Rupert Jones, etc. Yet, for so many years, they just couldn't get over the hump. I don't know if any of the videos are still available, but there was a list of 20-25 greatest baseball games and, of course, game 5 of the '86 ALCS was one of them. Bob Costas was on the panel and both Bobby Grich and Dave Henderson were guests providing their commentary and perspectives. Costas notes after the Red Sox' second out in the top of the ninth of that game, 'So now Mauch HAS to pull Witt...' because Gedman was coming up and he was the hot batter for Boston in that game.

[@emilrwolanski]

Henderson's HR gave the Red Sox the lead. Angels rallied and tied it. It was Henderson's Sacrifice Fly in the 11th that gave Boston the lead and the win.
