World Series moments

Earlier this week, a well-known sports radio host was talking about Kirk Gibson's game-winning home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. The host said that was the greatest moment ever in World Series history. The home run was dramatic, important, and almost heroic. But, it's not the greatest Fall Classic moment of all time.

I submit the following for consideration:
-Reggie Jackson's three home runs in the final game of the 1977 World Series
-Kirby Puckett's home run in Game 6 to keep the Minnesota Twins alive in the 1991 World Series
-Jack Morris' ten-inning shutout the following night to help the Twins to victory
-The New York Mets pulling off an unbelievable comeback in Game 6 of the 1986 Series
