EPISODE SUMMARY

In 1978, Bucky Dent hit a three run home run. He was the most unlikely to hit one.

In 1968, Bob Gibson had 17 strikeouts to set a World Series record.

And in 1995, the Chicago Bulls traded for Dennis Rodman ... and Jack Haley. Haley may have been the key piece to the entire trade.
