-Andruw Jones becomes the youngest player (19 y, 180 d) ever to hit a World Series home run in the opening game of the 1996 Fall Classic. Our own John Smoltz earns the win
@alannarizzo The 1988 Season are my 1st memories as a "Fan" Orel's breaking of Drysdale's 59 1/3 Scoreless, the Gibby HR in Game 1. I was 9 for all but the last month of that season and have been obsessed with the game since! Thx for bringing it up, triggering memories! #GreatestGame
