He kept giving me two thumbs down."</p> <p class="inside-copy">Gibson: "In the eighth inning (the TV) spanned the dugout and Vin Scully says something to the effect, 'There will be no Kirk Gibson.' I got out of my chair and said, 'My ass.'</p> <p class="inside-copy">"I put a jock on, a pair of socks, a T-shirt. That was it. I had the bare minimum. I took a couple of swings. I started to kind of brainwash myself, that when I walked out there, there would be a very positive reaction from the crowd and I wouldn't hurt."</p> <p class="inside-copy">Lasorda: "Suddenly the clubhouse boy comes up and says, 'Gibson wants to see you.' "</p> <p class="inside-copy">Gibson: "I remember seeing Tommy waddling up from the dugout. I said, 'Yeah, I can go if you want me to.' He said, 'Damn right, I want you to.' "</p> <p class="inside-copy">Lasorda told Gibson to stay hidden and not get in the on-deck circle, so the A's would never know what was coming. Light-hitting Dave Anderson was on-deck, so Eckersley pitched around Mike Davis. Two out, Davis on, last L.A. chance, and Gibson suddenly appeared, like a rabbit out of Lasorda's Dodger cap.</p> </blockquote> http://www.thegoodphight.com/2008/7/7/566263/schmidt-fan-werth-steals-s Jerome Armstrong Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:25:52 -0000 <embed bgcolor="#FFFFFF" src="http://www.veeker.com:80/veeker/veeker_player.swf?v=2455_29ef02730d5fd5c6" flashvars="VEEKERplayerID=2455_29ef02730d5fd5c6&VEEKERplayerDataPath=http://www.veeker.com:80/&veekID=136911&vc=0-2xn3-5bo" height="240" width="320"> </embed> <div class="source source-img"><p>Schmidt fan, Werth steals second, another fan. </p></div>
