1988 World Series Game 1: Vin Scully calls Kirk Gibson's memorable at-bat

Awesome, thanks for posting. I remember it.

Watching it again I love how as Gibson is getting off the field some media knob starts telling him to go over here for an interview and he's all "Fuck that, I'm going to the locker room". Old school pro, great moment.

This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector.

His silences were genius, he knew when to let the moment have its glory. I grew up with Vin Scully, he was an icon.

This World Series was one of the last I watched front to back. My interest in MLB waned in the early 90s and when the strike happened, that was it. Not too many games after that. But this clip brings back memories. Thanks for posting.
