Time to party!!!
(I still remember ten years ago when Aaron Bone walked off to eliminate Boston. Since then, a 3-0 comeback and three World titles. *parties like crazy*)

The Los Angeles Dodgers recently completed a wild seven-game upset of the heavily favored New York Mets. Kirk Gibson, the eventual NL MVP that year, was a big factor offensively and defensively.
