Exactly 29 years after Kirk Gibson, Justin Turner hit a postseason walk-off homer for the Dodgers

Turner also mentioned that he briefly considered pumping his fists around the bases. Instead, a triumphant arms-raised-high pose was his pick: 

And it ended up with a mobscene at home plate, naturally.

And don't worry -- Turner ended up getting the ball back from the fan, after some negotiations:
