Jack Buck's call on TV was MUCH better. I always felt Scully came to the booth with his ad libs all written out. Jack Buck: "I can't believe what I just saw!" That's spontaneous and perfect!
I usually immitate commentatos and do play by play watching games, I called his HR like Jack Buck....Freddie hits a fly ball deep to right....this is gonna be a homerun....Unbelievable a homerun for Freeman.....I don't believe what I just saw!
Same. I remember how listening to Vinnie, there was no meaningless, uninteresting game - Vinnie was captivating even in the pedestrian moments. And on the other hand when history was being made, he was transcendent.
@@EditStaion222 Compare the teams, the pitchers who gave up the home runs, the severity of the injury, the situation (Freeman had bases loaded, much more pressure on the pitcher than a runner on 2nd) and you’ll see what I mean.
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew Freddie hit a grand slam, first time a player has ever hit a walk off grand slam in World Series history, and that’s not better than Gibson?
I still remember Kirk Gibson's walk off home run back in '88! I was 37 years old back then and it still feels like it was yesterday. Watching Freddie Freeman's walk off grand slam brought back that memory and creating a new one for today's world!
Yes he did!! A superb statement for an iconic play/ player in MLB history. First ever gd,someone. I saw it. Imagine being at the game🎉🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤😅😮😅😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I witnessed Kirk Gibson’s 1988 game winning walk off HR on tv when I was 10 years old. I’m 46 now and witnessed Freddy Freeman’s game winning GS HR. Let’s go Dodgers.
Was too young to witness the famous Kirk Gibson home run but was able and watched live Freeman pull off that walk off grand slam Friday night. Both situations very similar.Go Dodgers!!!
The way Joe presents the scenario, followed by the Vin shoutout, PLUS the stylish “Gibby, meet Freddie, Game 1 of the World Series!” Rare moment when the greatness of the call meets the greatness of the moment
Thanks for this. I've never watched the full at bat of the Gibson homer. Gibson had a full count, Freddie had bases loaded. Crazy
Годину тому+15
My grandpa told me about Kirk's homerun and we used to watch this play so many times , with Freddie's homer ,I'm glad my generation got their own "Kirk Gibson" moment PURE BASEBALL
Yeah it goes beyond sports. It’s inspiring and it’s just about not giving up. I have a lump in my throat right now and I’m not a fan of either of these teams lol
That Gibson homerun is iconic. I wasn't even alive in 1988 but I remember downloading the ESPN Sports Moments of the Century montage off of Napster as a kid and Gibson's pump with Buck's equally as iconic quip is shown at the end of it, always stuck with me despite not being a Dodgers fan or even alive to have remembered it.
AND THE MAGIC OF 88 CONTINUES- VIN SCULLY QUOTE " NOT A BAD OPENING ACT " THANK YOU FREEMAN, THANK YIU GIBSON. MAY THE SOULS OF SCULLY, LASORDA & FERNANDO LIVE WITH US DODGERS FANS FOREVER
For those wondering about Kirk. Gibson suffers from Parkinson disease. He's a fighter. So he works hard to overcome Parkinson's. He does commentaries on Tigers games. He's a lot of fun to listen to, during Tiger's games.
I as well. I never thought in my lifetime I would see the same situation play out. Last night for the first time in many years, I felt like my 8 year old self again. All that was missing was Vinny calling the shot and Tommy being there.
As a 12 year old I didn’t follow baseball back then but I remember seeing the Gibson play on TV over and over because the news channels would play it a lot. I remember hat famous Gibson arm pump 😂. Freddie should have did that famous arm pump also while rounding out the bases 😂.
Baseball looked so different back then, those guys all looked like they were 45 years old, drank a case of beer and smoked 2 packs a night, now (almost) everyone looks like an elite level athlete. We've come a long way.
I am a Detroit native so I followed Kirk Gibson for a long time even when he went to the Dodgers I was 10 years old when I saw Gibson nail that ball for the walkoff Homerun. The feeling of déjà vu when I saw Freddie Freeman hit that grand slam just brought back chills. Baseball is so special to me because it was the first thing me and my father shared together. I wasn’t even a Dodgers fan at the time. I wanted the A’s to win. I was a huge Jose Canseco fan, but I loved Kirk Gibson. What a hit by Freddie Freeman. God, I love baseball!
still remember K Gibson's home run at that time and jumping up and down for the comeback win. A wild crazy win just like dodgers did today. unbelievable. . also miss Vince Scully. go dodgers go blue. 3 more wins
I was a 7 year old kid watching Gibby's homer and I never thought I would see lightning strike twice. Freddy's homer last night took me back to 88. Incredible moments, to have lived through both, is surreal. Dodger fan fom from the womb to the tomb.
Damn brings back memories! I was in first grade at my old school Italian Aunt Dena's house in SF. I'll never forget watching on her old tv with the skyline of SF in the background window, my Dad's cigarette smoke lingering in the air, little sister in the crib. We jumped up, yelling, in a big group hug. It was the last time I'd see Aunt Dena.
Man, hearing the GOAT, Vin Scully, make that call for the Kirk Gibson home run again definitely brought out the emotions. Two absolutely incredible moments in Dodgers history. Go Dodgers!!
I usually immitate commentatos and do play by play watching games, I called his HR like Jack Buck....Freddie hits a fly ball deep to right....this is gonna be a homerun....Unbelievable a homerun for Freeman.....I don't believe what I just saw!
Debbie Gibson sang the national anthem that day and I remember Vince Scully saying The Dodgers have Debbie Gibson singing but would rather have Kirk Gibson playing!! 😂 Life repeats itself!!
As Dodgers fan 💙 I am so lucky to have witness both 💙 Gibby's and Freddy's walkoffs but were doing this one for my favorite Dodger FERNANDO Let's Go Dodgers
I remember my dad’s reaction watching Kirk’s hr live back in ‘88. Today I watched the same reaction from him with Freddie’s but recorded on his internet camera
Kirk Gibson's pinch hit come-from-behind home run in 1988 is talked about as a legendary home run because it ultimately led the Dodgers to the world championship, but I don't think it would have been passed down if they had lost in the series. How Freddie Freeman's walk-off home run will be passed down from generation to generation The Dodgers should be world champions
When this happened I was at the LA Kings game. It was Wayne Gretzky's first game as a King, but at that moment I don't think anyone was paying attention to what was happening on the ice. A murmur when through the crowd when the word spread. Amazing!
Hearing the legendary voice of Jack Buck on radio Gibson and a swing to right field this gonna be a home run a home run for Gibson and the Dodgers have won the game 5-4 I don't believe what I just saw I don't believe what I just saw
He also faced a way, way better pitcher on an underdog team and Freeman could have hit a 2 run single and won the game just the same. Stupid to compare. Freeman doesn’t come close.
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew but it was the first walk off grand slam in WS history, what every kid dreams of, 2 outs, youre down, bases loaded, GRAND SLAM!!! Both are iconic hits in their own ways and we should appreciate both of them.
Yankees: Real Madrid, Brazil National Football Team, Boston Celtics and Green Bay Packers! Dodgers: FC Barcelona, France National Football Team, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Cowboys!
we might have a better view of destiny after tonight but the yankees played well enough to win (even in the last two innings)...i like both teams but was thrilled with what freeman did!!!!
The fact that Joe Davis had the presence of mind to echo Scully’s call of “SHE IS GONE!” is incredible.
It's kinda funny. Vin said he tried not to listen to other announcers in order that he preserve his own style.
"I didn't want to water my wine."
Jack Buck's call on TV was MUCH better. I always felt Scully came to the booth with his ad libs all written out.
Jack Buck: "I can't believe what I just saw!"
That's spontaneous and perfect!
I said the same thing
Just like how Joe Buck echoed his dad
Amazing, just amazing
Blessed to be alive for both of these. I am the same age as Kirk so been a Dodger fan forever. Thanks for post both of these together.
Yes indeed!! L,A is the favorite!!! New York is the hated. Great game , going to be historic series.😅😂❤
Hearing Vinny makes me so emotional. That voice will always be in my head telling me Baseball stories.
He was the MAN who called all the big games, I recall the Gibson homer. People need to understand how good Dennis was.
The fact that both Vinny and Joe Davis called "She is gone!" after the hit makes it all that more historic.
I usually immitate commentatos and do play by play watching games, I called his HR like Jack Buck....Freddie hits a fly ball deep to right....this is gonna be a homerun....Unbelievable a homerun for Freeman.....I don't believe what I just saw!
For my entire life Vin Scully was the voice of the Dodgers --- he impacted my life in many good ways!
Same. I remember how listening to Vinnie, there was no meaningless, uninteresting game - Vinnie was captivating even in the pedestrian moments.
And on the other hand when history was being made, he was transcendent.
“She is gone” two amazing announcers, two amazing players.
History repeated itself
It didn’t though. Freeman’s homer is nowhere near Gibsons.

Not so fast. Series isn't over
Both players playing injured, coming out and delivering the biggest hits of their lives. Baseball is amazing.
Did he say "Gibby meet Freddie"? Spectacular moment. Awesome to have been able to see live both walk off HRs 36 years apart.
Yes! I had to listen to that over and over. First time I am seeing someone else mention this. He did indeed say that!
Kind of weird that Gibby and Freddie are both iCarly characters as well.
Yes he did!! A superb statement for an iconic play/ player in MLB history. First ever gd,someone. I saw it. Imagine being at the game🎉🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤😅😮😅😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Joe Davis is to etching his commentary into MLB lore
My family and I were cheering so loud at home we missed the “gibby meet Freddie” technology what a blessing to rewind and watch over and over.

Yeah it goes beyond sports. It’s inspiring and it’s just about not giving up. I have a lump in my throat right now and I’m not a fan of either of these teams lol
Even as a Mets fan Gotta just tip the cap to these legends. Straight goosebumps
Even more painful, the dodgers had to go through the Mets to get to the World Series and their destinies.

Vin, the best to do it. LA has been blessed to have him and Chick Hearns.
Watched that Gibson HR when i was seven. Some serious deja vu last night.
8 years old in 1988..was in front of the TV ..2024 im 44 now..and didn't the same exact thing...crazy how similar the moment feels..
I am a fan of Dodgers in Korea.
Today, the Dodgers showed their best game...Congratulations on winning the World Series in advance!!!!
LOL... 3 more wins to go.
I watched both games, 36 years apart! The thrill never gets old. Go Dodgers!
Now I’m not a Dodger fan but damn that gives you CHILLS.
I was around for the Gibson HR and this one too obviously, Not a dodgers fan but a sports fan. Epic!!
Moral of the story: if you're pitching to close out Game 1 of the World Series to a hobbled hitter, don't have a mustache 😁
Imagining nestor quickly shaving in the bullpen before coming out

I saw the Gibson HR in 1988 live as a kid on NBC. History repeats itself.
Me too.

@ConservativeGraceBrethren me three. A 23 year-old "kid" back in '88. Unbelievable both then and now!
My sister called me in 1988 told me to rever my cap inside out for good luck because Kirk Gibson was battling, I did and he delivered. Your welcome.😂😊
As a 12 year old I didn’t follow baseball back then but I remember seeing the Gibson play on TV over and over because the news channels would play it a lot. I remember hat famous Gibson arm pump 😂. Freddie should have did that famous arm pump also while rounding out the bases 😂.
I still remember my brothers and dad shouting as we watched the end of this game back in 88. Unbelievable.
And this is game 1. I don't think my heart can survive the whole series
Gibson and Freeman will always be Great Dodger hero's, but the GREATEST of them all is the voice of VIN SCULLY!!!
Don't forget Fernando!

Also game one walkoff home runs are becoming a thing since Adolis Garcia hit one last year.
No it doesn’t. Gibsons hr is leaps and bounds a bigger deal than Freeman’s.
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew Totally agree.
Fixed
It sure did. 🎉
Watching him limp around the bases really makes one realize how great both players truly are to even be playing at all is crazy.
Both of the home runs, by Gibson and Freeman, were hit at 8:37 PM Pacific Daylight time, 36 years apart.
No fcking way 😮 even the time???? 😮😮

The way Freedie held the bat up it was like a champagne toast to the chef got serving him a juicy meatball
Thankyou chef Nestor

1988 and 2024 = both Years of the Dragon. Long live the sports writer in the NLDS who called the Dodgers the big dragon up the freeway :)

I was at the game with my dad. Got good seats and this hit right here was the best way to end the night
What a great video. The commentary matched both moments. Baseball, sometimes it’s what this country needs and did it deliver!

Vin called that from Heaven.
I can hear Vin saying the same thing, "She is gone!". Then silent for a long time. Then he would say, "The IMPOSSIBLE has happen, TWICE!"

krik gibson also had a leg injury, which makes it even more legendary
I can’t even imagine how good that felt for him

Epic at-bats. Dodgers was destined to win in 1988 and is destined to win again in 2024.
