On October 28, 1989 — At Candlestick Park the Oakland Athletics complete a sweep in the World Series with a 9 – 6 win over the San Francisco Giants. Rickey Henderson’s home run supports starter and winner Mike Moore who wins his second game of the series.

Dave Stewart is named Series MVP after winning the first and third game of the series, which was interrupted by an earthquake. Stewart becomes the first hurler to win two games in both the LCS and World Series.

Henderson has one of the greatest postseasons in history, over 9 games he hits .441 with 11 steals, 1,609 OPS, 12 runs scored, and 8 Extra base hits. He won the ALCS MVP and could have won the World Series MVP award as well.
