Talk about right place, right time. One devoted Dodger fan was fortunate enough to attend two of the most memorable World Series games in team history.

Hundreds of fans gathered outside the Dodger Stadium sign, which was converted into a makeshift memorial for the late icon, pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, whose 64th birthday would have been Friday.

One fan told ABC7 he was there in person for Game 1 in 1988, when a stumbling Kirk Gibson fired a walk-off home run followed by an iconic fist pump as he rounded the bases.

And the same fan was also at Game 1 of the World Series this year, when Freddie Freeman hit the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history.

“I am one of the most blessed people in the world,” he said. “I was at Game 1 in 1988 when Kirk Gibson hit the home run. And I was here when Freddie hit the home run. And there were miracles both times. So I feel like I witnessed two miracles. The Dodgers are so a big part of my life.” core memories. It’s a beautiful thing.”
