October 15 marks a memorable day in Los Angeles Dodgers franchise history. Kirk Gibson and Justin Turner share the unique honor of hitting clutch, walk-off home runs in the postseason - albeit 29 years apart.
Gibson came through with a two-out, two-run walk-off home run to propel the Dodgers to a 5-4 victory and 1-0 series lead in the Fall Classic. The blast set the tone for the rest of the matchup.
Turner delivered a walk-off three-run home run to center field that sent Dodger Stadium into a frenzy, paving the way for the Dodgers to defeat the Cubs.
Turner, who hit a scorching .333/.478/.667 in the series, went on to earn co-MVP honors with Taylor, marking a significant postseason achievement.
