30 years after giving up one of the most iconic home runs in baseball history, it's fair to say former A's closer Dennis Eckersley doesn't have any hard feelings.
Eckersley, wearing a white, No. 43 A's jersey, threw out the first pitch to Kirk Gibson ahead of Game 4 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium on Saturday. A hobbled Gibson famously hit a walk-off home run off of Eckersley to win Game 1 of the 1988 World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Gibson, clad in his No. 23 Dodgers jersey, initially took the mound to throw out the first pitch.
