It was 1982, Game 5 of the American League Championship Series. The winner goes on to the World Series and the losers go home.
The Angels took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning when Fred Lynn singled, scoring Brian Downing. The Brewers answered in the bottom of the inning when Paul Molitor led off with a double; eventually scoring on a sacrifice fly by Ted Simmons. The Angels recaptured the lead in the third inning on an RBI single by Fred Lynn. They extended their lead to 3-1 in the fourth after an RBI single from Bob Boone. Ben Oglivie homered in the bottom of the fourth to bring the score to 3-2.
Then, in the bottom of the seventh, Charlie Moore singled with one out. Jim Gantner followed up with a single of his own to center field. After Paul Molitor flew out to foul territory in left field, Robin Yount walked to load the bases. Cecil Cooper came to the plate and singled on a line drive to left, scoring Charlie Moore and Jim Gantner - the tying and eventual winning runs!
Many baseball fans have seen Cecil Cooper's run to first base, begging the ball to drop. I haven't seen many pictures of the winning run, however...until now. I just found this signed 8x10 on eBay and picked it up for a best offer of $21 plus $4 shipping.
Now I just need to find a black & white picture of Cecil Cooper's infamous run to first to get signed and framed up with it.
Thanks for reading!

Hah...yeah, unfortunately, there weren't many flattering pictures of the 70's porn moustache twins from those days.
