Gibby remembers Vin Scully
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2022
- Two of the most iconic moments in baseball, both of whom involved our own Kirk Gibson, were called by the late Vin Scully. We hear from Gibby on what the legendary baseball broadcaster meant to him.
Vin Scully is probably the most universally loved and respected man in baseball history. I've never once heard an ill word spoken about him. He's truly missed.
KIRK GIBSON!!! You were my hero that night of October 15, 1988. You taught me a valuable lesson when I was at the age of 12. No matter how much it hurts, no matter if the odds are stacked against you, you displayed heart for your team and for millions of fans who were counting on you to lift their spirits. Thank you for your example of never giving up. God bless you my friend!
A classy and honest tribute to Vinny. I only just now saw the Detroit slammer against Gossage. Respect all around. Thanks for the post.
How sweet was it that Vin Scully called both of Kirk Gibson's legendary World Series home runs off of two Hall of Fame relievers. May he rest in peace.
The best thing about Mr scully is how hard he tried to not be biased to visiting players and personal!
I think this is a lot of what we are seeing now in how he is appreciated by so many player who never played for the Dodgers!
Also the umpires as well. Something a lot of people don't know is for about 10 years, the umpiring crew would turn after the exchange of lineups. The four of them would look directly up to the Dodgers press box and would tip their caps to Vin, then would take their positions to start the game. They did that before every single game. Apparently it all started because one of the umpires ran into Vin at the hotel bar. The umpire thanked Vin for his fairness towards them and his knowledge of them as people. They ended up having a fairly long conversation. The next day he told his crew that he planned to tip his hat to Vin. That crew started the tradition and it quickly spread to the other crews in the League.
@@brianeleighton wow, did not know that !
Tks for the story !
My father was heartbroken when he found out his sister (my Tia), passed away back in Feb this yr. Then he finds out about Vin Scully's passing and he was devastated. I sat next to him, gave him a hug, and I told him "Look on the bright side dad, Tia is now hanging out with Tommy Lasorda and Vin Scully." R.I.P to a TRUE ICON! R.I.P Vin Scully! You will be missed! 😥
I’m sorry about your sister. 😢
@@NikkiScatch84not his sister, his aunt. Tia means aunt in Spanish.
Not only the greatest baseball broadcaster, but the greatest announcer in any sport -- anywhere, anytime, anyplace. He could make the phone book lyrical and poetic. Truly the GOAT. RIP, dear Vinny.
In LA, Gibby is still royalty in these parts.
He looks good!
RIP Vinny.
Great interview by Kirk, you can see the hurt in his eyes.
You can feel the hurt in his eyes.
I remember that homerun like it was yesterday. The greatest moment in Dodgers history in my memory
Bottom of the 9th, A's ahead by 1, that generation's master closer on the mound, 2 outs, 1 guy on deck, and the Dodgers' star batter had both legs injured so getting a _base hit_ would be questionable. Gibson manages to get the count to 3-2, and Eck needed to get him out. Casey at the Plate was nowhere near as dramatic as that walk-off homer.
1 guy on BASE. Sheesh, words, self.
Me too, it was a Saturday night...
@@eddierodrgz77 Yes it was. Btw I'm the same age as you are🙂✌
I was a twenty year old kid when you and Vinny will for ever be connected to truly a remarkable moment in my life that I will never forget and cherish thank you Gibby R. I.P Vinny ⚾️✌️
"He'll be missed, but never forgotten." What an eloquent epitaph. And so true. Vin Scully, you will always be the paragon of sports broadcasting.
@David Walter
Hope you don't take this as an invitation to fight, but that is not what he said. Close, but no cigar.
What he said was, "...and, he's gonna be missed, but not forgotten".
Paraphrasing certain messages can be OK, most times, however, accuracy when reporting an epitaph, is generally better when the exact wording is used.
Sorry to ruffle your feathers, but if you're an adult, it should be accepted.

Can't help it...I'm anal!
@@justplainbrad7713 If it's that important to you, okay.
@@justplainbrad7713 Indeed.... Just as you said, YOU ARE ANAL! 🤡💩🤬
Back in the mid Sixties in Havasu as a kid our AM raidos only started to pick up raido stations after dark. We always tuned in KFI and Dodger Baseball even though I was a die hard Giant fan. When you listened to Vin Scully he didn't sound like a over the top Dodger sportscaster. He was fair and had stories for every team LA played and never said anything bad about anyone. There will only be one of his kind never to be matched.
@@justplainbrad7713 Sheesh,what a bore you are! I'll bet you wash and wax your car keys and have no friends. I also think you're wrong.
RIP Vin Scully. You were the GOAT.
This is a tremendous tribute. So great that he brings up Ernie at the end. I grew up with Ernie and am now a very old man. Never got over his passing.
Vin Scully was so good he made me an Expos fan without ever having seen them play or what they looked like. I lived in LA and listened to Dodgers games all the time as a kid, and he put the Expos over like it was his own team.
RIP Vin Sully.
I was just a kid during that 88 season, it's cemented my love for the dodgers for all time. Gibby was my favorite player I adored him, he was the team leader and a great great ball player, and he played so hard he was the heart and soul of that 88 team. I have listened to that moment countless times "she is gone" and it always brings a chill to me. Vin Scully was a great broadcaster but he was a better human being.
Gibby is so cool. Always was, always will be. Clutch.
I wouldn't want to know Kirk Gibson personally at anytime in his career, but I certainly enjoyed watching him play.
Harry Carey, Ernie Harwell, and Vin Scully. 3 of the best of all time. Lucky to have heard all 3 on the radio, bringing life to radio like no others.
I am in tears whenever I hear Vinny's voice.
Two icons. It never gets old hearing the amazing voice of Vin Scully or the remarkable athleticism of Kirk Gibson...
This is enough to make a grown man cry.
Vin Scully's voice will forever be linked to majoe league baseball.
The format of this celebration is amazing
USA 🇺🇸 ⚾
Gibby is a legend
Thank you, Gibby, for not only this story, but also for the greatest moment of my life as a sports fan. Like everyone, I miss him very much. Your storytelling makes him seem not so far away.
Kirk is so loved in Detroit too. Thank you for the memories Gibby. I love how you played the game
Very well said Kirk. It is interesting to note that you mentioned Scully and Harwell. Many people don't know that Scully replaced Harwell in the Dodgers booth when Ernie moved over to the Giants in 1950. Two of the greatest broadcasters and gentlemen baseball was blessed to have known.
You’re thinking of the great Red Barber, not Ernie Harwell.
Do some checking Michael, Tom Sampson is correct.
In Vin’s own words… ua-cam.com/video/YQ2EG3t3fEI/v-deo.html
Gotta love Gibby ......
Vin was my favorite since I was ten years old in Brooklyn. He was amazing and was the Dodgers voice. We loved that he was a lip reader and would tell what was being said during screaming matches between umpire vs manager. “Fertilizer!” Instead of “B_____it!”. When the Dodgers retreated to the left coast, the only times I saw Vin afterward was when he did World Series games and I enjoyed his work. Especially when my newer favorites, the Mets, played in 1986 series. He was a gem.
I’m a diehard A’s fan and watching Gibson hit that playoff home run off Eckersley crushed me!
Great interview
Funny story about the Gibson home run is my aunt was supposed to go to this game but had to go to a dinner which she hated. Anyway she ended up giving tickets to my other aunt and uncle. They left moments before Gibsons homerun and the ball landed pretty close to their seats.
I can feel Gibby's pain and see it on his face. Very nice words for his good friend.
Great inside by Gibson. Amazing that he was able to share those candid moments with Vin Scully.
These confessionals are anazing
Being in L.A., all I thought was how typical seeing someone's red taillights leaving the game early to beat traffic and how deserving they were of missing that historic homerun called by the legend Vin Scully.
I was at that game with my father, and I remember in the 9th inning, I noticed people were starting to leave. I turned to him and said, "I know Eckersley is amazing, but we're only down by one. Why are people leaving?" After Gibby hit the winner, I remember thinking how those stupid people missed something magical.
I know traffic must be terrible in LA (my hometown is 1/10 the size of it and it's horrible), but you don't leave a World Series game early, much less a tightly contested one
@@RichAraujo. And probably if you asked a million people today, they'd all say they were at that game.
I love you, Kirk Gibson. Thank you for being who you are. Go Dodgers.
'88 was a great year for sports in L.A.!! Lakers won back to back NBA titles, #99 gets "traded" to the Kings & Dodgers win the World Series.
A wonderful and beautiful eulogy.
No one can live forever. Vin Scully should have.
Mr Scully I love you because you allways respected everyone!!!!! you're the father. grandfather I wish i would have had!!! RIP sir!!!!
So awesome and heart-warming to hear Gibby talk about the great Vin Scully, and include his admiration for Ernie Harwell as well. These baseball greats will always be intertwined in history. Never forgotten. They have all provided some of the greatest moments in baseball history. I salute you Gibby as you honour these great spokesmen for the game. They would both be proud!
Being sn Oakland fan I'm still stunned. Mr. Gibson anybody who loves baseball has to hand it to you because what you did is up there with the Babe pointing where he was going to hit his home run.
I cried like a baby when vin died and I will do the same for gibby. I was the happiest kid when he hit that homerun off the eck
2 legends
My most memorable moment during my childhood came in the 88’ playoffs/world series.
As. Dodger fan watching Gibby hit the ball and hearing Vinny say “she is gone” will forever be in my heart.
Two legends
RIP Vinny
I remember both of these great home runs and I'll always remember Vin Scully calling "The catch" Dwight Clark!!!!!
Kirk Gibson was the only ball player that sort of scared me when I was a youngster watching the games and collecting the cards. I remember it very well as a kid. He looked rough and tough, looked mean lol..., he mentioned some of that here in the video. I was an 11 yr old kid in Canada watching that game vs the Padres. Dominant Tiger team, Padres had a great team as well.... position players, at the plate and pitching.
I also remember Vin Scully when we had Saturday afternoon Dodger games on tv where I lived. Rest in peace Vin Scully.
I remember both at bats but being a Detroit fan 84 tigers my God epic....
Gibby was a rare dude. Football player who slammed some of the biggest homers ever. Great moments Kirk!
If Bill Mazeroski can be in the Hall of Fame because of one World Series home run, then Gibson should be there, too.
first time I've seen a mustache was kirk gibbons 88. I wear a mustache cuz of these man
That was Great !! Thanks Kirk.
Rest In Peace Brother.
He called " The Catch" 1981 NFC Championship Game. Joe Montana to Dwight Clark (RIP ).. Nobody like Vin ..❤
Vin Scully set the moment up perfectly. Kirk and Eckersley were on the spot and one of them was going to triumph. As fate would have it Dennis threw a back door slider and Gibby was all over it. She is gone!!!
Vince said Tinker Bell was MVP. Classic !
was 2 during this WS but as a kid an adult grandpa vin showed me what it was to be a dodger .. and Tio Tommy ranforced it .
Tiger Stadium was magical. Too bad they couldn't save it somehow.
Loved MR. scully’s call of kirk Gibsons tigers HR
Baseball stadiums today are so boring. Sure, they are better than the multi-use ovals built in the 70s such as Three Rivers Stadium , but anything would be better than those.
There is nothing special about Comerica Park. If you never got to see a game at Tiger Stadium, you missed out on something special. Yeah, it was kind of a dump due to its age, but it wasn't about the concessions, or the other or the concourses, or the ferris wheel. It was purely about the game there.
What I wouldn't give to see the right field overhang turn a deep fly ball to the track into an upper deck home run again.
@@kristopherloviska9042 Tiger Stadium should've been refurbished just like Wrigley & Fenway was!!
The greatest thing about the corner, you were close to the action. Unlike Comerica, where you need binoculars even if you are behind home plate . And do not get me started on the bleachers....
I remember being in line for a hot dog 1969, a guy tried to rob me at knife point, I was 8 years old, he was probably 9.
HERO
Real One.
The ultimate tribute by the Dodgers for Mr. Scully would be to have his number retired. What number you ask? Why, the number 67 of course for the number of years that he broadcast Dodgers games. Think of it this way. It has never happened that a team retires a broadcasters number of years in the booth. That would be the first tribute of its kind and, Vin Scully was one of a kind. It would be the perfect match.
Gibson is suffering from Parkinson's disease, and really toughed it out for this interview.
People forget the base of on balls to Mike Davis and then Davis stealing second. That was Huge
Never made a movie about this because they couldn't decide if Tom Selleck should play Gibson, or if Gibson should play Tom Selleck.
❤❤❤❤
Let's go Dodgers 💙. It's time for Dodger Baseball!
4:08 Calls Joe Garagiola a "little minion"!
"little minion..." wow!

The 84 homerun shot....whitest high fives ever! I became a Tigers, Gibby, Whitaker, Trammel and Sparky fan in 84 because they gave my 8th grade self a chance to get my best friend who loved the Yankees to STFU!
Somebody’s on LSD Kurt Gibson had a Detroit tigers uniform on he hit the famous home run in the World Series for the Dodgers what’s wrong with this picture?
Gibson has two famous World Series HRs, one for the Tigers in ‘84 and the more famous one for the Dodgers. They showed both.
1st round team mariners no trade a cf and 7 World Series rings
“ there it goes” it’s not really indicative of the car. People who don’t know I’m going to say why is not a big deal? Should’ve done the lead up. Gibson, limping, coming off the bench injured.
Oops and then such \|/
Why did he have to talk immediately after? Let it breathe Vin! Wait, the editor did that? And recut the video with audio that came 60 seconds later? As part of a Scully tribute? You sir are a tool! Which finger should we chop off, everyone?
Yep. Editor really blew it and didn't listen to the interview or understand the moment.
Such a good man Vin Scully ,a man of Honor ,a man of respect , a good man , but the sad part about this, is that Vin is not getting 1/16 the recognition that George Floyd received when he died ,a thug a drug addict a good for nothing, and statues are built in his honor streets our name after him thousands of flowers put up in the streets for him, it just shows you where this city where these people stand, we're bad triumphs over good we're a thug is recognized more than excellent citizen of this city , it's just like when the Israelites said give us Barnabas instead of Jesus ,
