El último viaje de los Dodgers a una Serie Mundial fue en 1988, cuando los expertos no los consideraban favoritos para ganar el Clásico de Otoño. En esa gloriosa temporada, los Dodgers fueron campeones del Oeste de la Liga Nacional y eliminaron a los favoritos Mets de Nueva York. Kirk Gibson estuvo al mando de la ofensiva angelina, mientras que Orel Hershiser fue el hombre más valioso en la lomita para los Dodgers. Ese año, Hershiser tuvo 59 innings consecutivos sin aceptar anotación.

En la Serie Mundial vencieron a los ultra favoritos Atléticos de Oakland, liderados por Mark McGwire y José Canseco. Los Dodgers ganaron la serie en cinco juegos, en el que destacó el triunfo en el Juego 1 en Dodger Stadium, gracias al jonrón de Gibson en la novena baja, cuando los Dodgers perdían por una carrera.

Dodger pitcher Orel Hershiser is congratulated by catcher Mike Scioscia after breaking former Dodger Don Drysdale’s 20-year-old record of 58 consecutive scoreless innings. Hershiser shut out he Pardres in San Diego for 10 innings to bring his total of scoreless innings to 59 September 28, 1988.
