GAME 6 - Yankee Stadium
Dwight Gooden vs Herb Pennock
Yankees 9, Mets 5
Thanks to his second putrid performance Gooden won't have to worry about waking up late and missing the victory parade.  There will be a victory parade, but it will be for Murder's Row who tagged Doc for 9 runs in 7 innings.  Herb Pennock, who would notch the win, gave up 5 runs in 8 innings, but only 1 of those runs would be earned.  After 3 innings of play the Yanks were up 5-1.  The Metsies began chipping away, but on a day when Babe Ruth would slug 3 homers the Mets needed runs in droves not in drips.  A 3 run 7th inning finally put Gooden out of his misery and sealed the deal for the Bombers.  Ruth would hit consecutive homers in the 1st (2 run shot), the 3rd (3 run shot) and the 5th (solo blast).  He would be given an unintentional / intentional pass in the 7th and Lou Gehrig would pick up the torch and slam a 3 run shot himself.  Eat your heart out Reggie, the Babe can also hit 3 homers in 3 consecutive at bats in a game 6 clincher where Yankee lumber overcame Yankee leather (4 errors).
Yankees win series 4-2
