October 29th, 1981

On this day in 1981, after losing the first two games, with the help of Pedro Guerrero's five RBIs and the solid pitching of Bert Hooton, the Dodgers defeat the Yankees, 9-2, to capture the World Championship in six games. It's the third time this postseason Los Angeles comes from behind to win a series (0-2 behind Astros in the NLDS and 1-2 behind the Expos in the NLCS).
