Oct. 14, 1984: Behind the scenes of the famous Gibson photo and the Tigers’ last championship

Gibby’s home run for the ages against the Goose. The 35-5 start, unmatched in baseball annals. Morris’ nationally televised no-hitter. Bergman’s 13-pitch battle — “going to war,” his teammates called it — before his walk-off homer against the Blue Jays. Bless you boys.

Kirk Gibson’s HR during the 1984 World Series. You also hear Sparky trolling the Padres from the dugout, Goose and Dick Williams mound visit and Vin Scully doing the play by play.. Lots of good stuff in this video.
