Dykstra’s HR completed maybe the most unusual triple crown ever: three World Series, three Game 3 leadoff home runs: Tommie Agee, 1969; Wayne Garrett, 1973; Len Dykstra, 1986
Didn’t see this one as I was at a high school football playoff game that night. And even if I hadn’t been there I would have been with my dad as he went back into the hospital that night

Carter great hitter
for my boy Buckner, 👍👍👍👍
If only John McNamara was watching this broadcast, he might have known about Buckner's bad legs 3 games later.
Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd! Nicknames were so much better in the past. Cool to see Bob Costas and Marv Albert at it in their prime.
