Dennis Eckersley Pitching in Game One of the 1988 World Series
Description
A color slide of a full-length photograph of Dennis Eckersley pitching against the Los Angeles Dodgers pinch hitter Kirk Gibson in the ninth inning of the first game of the 1988 World Series, just before Gibson hit the game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. He is pictured from the feet up in the middle of delivering a pitch. He is looking toward the right of the frame with his body toward the camera on the third base side of the field. His right arm is raised above his head with the ball in his right hand just before the pitch is delivered. His left arm is held so that his elbow extends, and his gloved hand bends toward his midsection. His left leg extends in front of him, and his right leg stretches behind him with the side of his foot resting on the ground. He is wearing the gray road uniform of the Oakland A's with "Oakland" across the front of his jersey. An Associated Press caption reads "(NY51)--SPECIAL TO THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS ATTN RUSSELL BRONSON--Oakland A's reliever Dennis Eckersley pitches against the Los Angeles Dodgers in October 1988 in the first game of the world series.
