Your other choice would involve seeing USC allow Rutgers to put up 20+ on their home field.

And a hobbled Freeman, at that. He’s been bad at the plate through the playoffs, until last night. He missed his chance to do the Gibson underhand fist pull.
Suppose that makes Freeman a Dodger forever. IOW, goes into HOF as Dodger rather than a Brave.
Perhaps he will do as Maddux did.
"On January 8, 2014, Maddux was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The pitcher later announced that he would not have a team logo on his plaque, citing his history with the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs: "It's impossible for me to choose one of those teams ... as the fans of both clubs in each of those cities were so wonderful", Maddux said.[67]"

Wow. Great obs.
My brother goes back to Boston with the Braves. Big Eddie Mathews fan. Me- Yankees and MICKEY MANTLE!
Yeah saw some of that after the world series ended Was not very interesting.
On your question about Gibson, are you asking who has hit walk off homers in the workd series in total, in game 1, while trailing or for the Dodgers?
Took me down a rabbit hole, google showed this:
" There have been 62 walk-offs in the 120-year history of the World Series. The Dodgers have had five walk-offs in the World Series. There have only been three walk-off homers by teams that were trailing–Joe Carter for the Blue Jays in 1993, Gibson in 1988, and now Freeman in 2024".
Was my first thought when he hit the ball. I am OK with either team in this series. I really like Freeman and Judge. Let ne back up there. I am OK with the Dodgers if Freeman wins it for them as he did last night.

Well, I can't really change it now that the game has been played (and it was a tough call to start)... but both SP's pitched really, really well. I do still think that Game 1 was really important to the NYY though just because the LA lineup is so dangerous... the last thing they need is to go down 0-2... but yeah, whether it's 1-1 or 0-2, game 3 is huge now.

Would have been crazy if they were on the same day and month.

The number may have been 82 percent. I was biking on a bad stretch of road when I heard the comment...seems like it was that percentage of teams win the WS if they start off 2-0.
When I started this thread the title was "nostalgia" related. Back to back games with a HR (Freeman) ... it was 1981 since LA had a player do that? OR, was that a WS record? Again, I stat I missed due to noise around me biking.
Weird fact.
I checked on the score of this game more often than I did A&M v LSU last night.
