This 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Championship ring, crafted by Balfour in 14K gold and set with diamonds, was issued to Dodgers staff member David Wright and comes complete with its original presentation box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 14px;\"\u003eTommy Lasorda's 1988 Dodgers went 94-67 to win the NL West, then outlasted the heavily favored New York Mets in a seven-game NLCS. Waiting in the World Series were the Oakland A's, a 104-win powerhouse led by the Bash Brothers, Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire. Few gave Los Angeles a chance, but the Dodgers stunned Oakland four games to one to capture the franchise's sixth World Series title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fffbf0; border-left: 4px solid #c8940a; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.06em; color: #7a5800; margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eGibson's home run and Hershiser's historic season\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0;\"\u003eWith both legs injured, NL MVP Kirk Gibson was not expected to play in the World Series at all. In Game 1, with the Dodgers trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth, he hobbled to the plate as a pinch hitter against Hall of Fame closer Dennis Eckersley and drove a full-count backdoor slider into the right-field pavilion for a walk-off home run. It was his only at-bat of the Series, and his fist-pumping trip around the bases became one of baseball's most iconic images. On the mound, Orel Hershiser put a dominant finish on one of the greatest seasons ever pitched. He closed the regular season with a record 59 consecutive scoreless innings, won the NL Cy Young Award, and was named MVP of both the NLCS and the World Series, pitching a complete game in the Game 5 clincher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe 1988 championship holds a special place in Dodgers history, and the team would not win another World Series for 32 years.
