LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers have two walk-off home runs in their postseason history. One was hit 29 years ago today. You may have heard of it. The other, came courtesy of Justin Turner, in Game 2 of the NLCS.
Turner was a month shy of his fourth birthday when Kirk Gibson won Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. I don’t remember much from when I was four, but Turner does.
“One of my earliest baseball memories was being at my grandma’s house and watching that game and watching Gibby hit that homer,” Turner said.
