⚾️On October 11, 1978 in Game 2 of the World Series, Dodgers rookie Bob Welch was brought in to pitch the 9th inning to save the game for Burt Hooton. He allowed New York’s Bucky Dent and Willie Randolph to reach base between outs, bringing up Reggie Jackson. Welch ran the count to 3–2. Jackson fouled off several pitches before Welch finally got a fastball by him, sending the Dodger Stadium crowd into a frenzy. The Dodgers won the game 4-3 to take a 2-0 World Series lead.
