Synopsis "Gibby's Ball"
On October 15th, 1988, Kirk Gibson of the Los Angeles Dodgers hit a walk off home run against the heavily favored Oakland A's, in game one of the World Series. That homer arguably sparked the Dodgers to a 4-games-to-1 defeat of the A's and a World Series championship. But whatever happened to that ball? This is before a bazillion cameras (and cell phones) were at the games, able to catch the flight of that ball from every possible angle. The single camera footage shows the fans converging in the right field pavilion seats as the ball clears the fence. After that the camera cuts to Gibson rounding second base doing the famous fist pump. Then the dugout erupts as players, led by manager Tommy Lasorda, rush onto the field. The camera never goes back to the stands. To this day, nobody knows what happened to the ball...until now.Delve into a fictional account of what may have happened to one of the most famous home run balls ever hit in the history of the Major Leagues. Certainly, it was the most famous home run in Los Angeles Dodgers history. The story blurs the lines between fact and fiction and includes characters both real and imagined. It takes a fun look at player superstition, as baseball players are among the most superstitious folks on earth. It also hints at the supernatural, or at least a greater spiritual power. After all, if there is a God, he's probably a baseball fan. And 1988 is proof that he is probably a Dodgers fan as well.
