NLCS Game 4, 1984: Drysdale, Cey and Garvey
2004-11-13 20:28
by Jon Weisman

What an unexpected feast of Dodger legends I found today when I caught the last 20 minutes of an ESPN Classic broadcast of a game from 20 years ago: Chicago at San Diego, Game 4, National League Championship Series, October 6, 1984.

Cubs lead the series, 2-1. Game is tied, 5-5, in the ninth inning.

  • Don Drysdale has the play-by-play call for ABC.

  • With the bases loaded and two out in the top of the ninth, Ron Cey grounds to second base to end the inning for the Cubs. Cey finishes the night 5 0 0 0.

  • With Tony Gwynn on first base and one out in the bottom of the ninth, Steve Garvey blasts a game-winning home run well over the right-field wall. Garvey finishes the night 5 1 4 5.

    Trivia time:

    1) The late Alan Wiggins led off the bottom of the ninth by bunting just foul with two strikes. What record did Wiggins set while in the Dodger organization?

    2) Who were the commentators for ABC alongside Drysdale?
