Gibby's Ball

On October 15th, 1988, Kirk Gibson hit a walk off home run in game one of the World Series. That homer arguably sparked the Dodgers to a 4 games to 1 defeat of the heavily favored Oakland 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 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.
Experience 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 Dodgers history. The story blurs the lines between fact and fiction and includes characters both real and imagined. It delves into player superstition, as baseball players are among the most superstitious folks on earth, and possibly hints at the supernatural. After all, if there is a God, he's probably a baseball fan.
