Kirk Gibson's Game 1 walk-off deserves a deep rewind | 1988 World Series 

"In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened"

RIP Vin Scully, who gave us this memorable high-fly call. dodgers legend will always be remembered

Bonus points for waiting for Gibson's double fist pump before ending the clip.

I'm a simple man, I see Rewinder, I click

Great video, I love Rewinders, but I'm surprised you didn't dig into how dramatic the actual plate appearance was, with him hitting the home run on the seventh pitch of a nearly six minute at bat, working from an 0-2 all the way to back a full count, and Davis almost getting picked off at one point. It's one of the reasons that home run was so meaningful, Gibson was down to his last strike almost the entire time.

As Keith Olbermann (among many others) pointed out, the best part of that highlight is the brake lights on the car behind the stadium as some LA nitwit who left early to beat the traffic heard the call on the radio and realized what happened. They come on just as the ball clears the fence.

Gibson also battled back from an 0-2 count in that at bat.

As an A’s fan this will be the only reminder that I won’t watch. But I watched it any way because Rewinder videos are awesome

Growing Up a Detroit Tigers Fan, Kirk "GIBBY" Gibson was my favorite player! He won us a World Series in '84 and then we loaned him to LA to win in' 88. Gibby does our play by play analysis for the Tigers now.

The helmet catch deserves a deep rewind. It has a really interesting back story with the 16-0 patriots vs the underdog giants. Also the story of David tyree, and not to mention the catch was incredible as well as the escape by Eli Manning

Orel Hershiser was one of the great pitchers of the 1980s, a real workhorse that was one of the last pitchers in the Majors to consistently complete games. Ryan might have fanned batters more, it was Hershiser that turned those fans and wins into pennants. Great to see him mentioned for once, he doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for how great of a pitcher he was.

You're God damn right it deserves a rewind

As much as I will always love Vin, Jack Buck's "I don't believe what I just saw!" call is one of my favorites of all time.

*Steven Bradbury’s miracle win at the 2002 Winter Olympics deserves a deep rewind.* (C’mon make it happen!!)

Giants fan through and through, watching that fist pump as he rounds the bases makes me smile every damn time, and it's quite literally the only moment I every feel any sort of warmth for someone in a Dodgers uniform. Great video.

Beef history : kd vs Westbrook Rewinder : Cubs vs Indians

Jason Lezak and the US Olympic men's swim team's last-lap comeback against France in the 2008 Olympics deserves a deep rewind.

dude your videos give me chills every time you say welcome to a moment in history. great set up.

You guys finally did the moment I’ve been requesting forever. Love this channel, keep it up!!!!

very nicely done. really enjoyed. thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.

Oh my gosh, this was probably the best Rewinder yet!!!!! Keep up the good work

Wow, the person(s) who put the episodes of this series together are super talented. I know everything (sometimes) about these scenarios and yet you found the way to make them fresh and intriguing again. Really excellent stuff.

The greatest walk off in baseball history, god was definitely with Kirk, he’s a strong believer!

Please make sooo many more of these and all the time. Easily one of my favorite series’ on RU-vid

Love this channel. Don’t stop making these.

This maybe my favorite RU-vid series right now. Keep up the good work guys and gals!!

Being born and raised in the Bay Area and a lifelong A's fan, watching this video and learning the backstory of this historic moment only make it hurt more lol But in all in all big respect to the Dodgers for a great performance!

Great video! I really enjoyed it. It was a great way to told a story.

man you just got a new sub this series is amazing!!!

I have been asking for this!!!

These are great. Good job.

This series kicks major ass , please keep doing them , also the guy hosting video is well suited to these

Gives me chills without fail regardless of how many times i watch. If i had a time traveling machine, probably be my first event to go. visit.

This series deserves so much more praise and views

This rewind series is one of my favorites!

The two things that are memorable on that home run, Vin Scully's bare bones yet powerful call and those taillights...always the taillights...

I was 8 years old at the time and I can still remember that call like it was yesterday!!!!

This is a great series guys. Keep it up

This is easily my fav RU-vid channel.

I just watched this World Series.. it was amazing

Goosebumps! What a cool moment!

Rewind of the Braves World Series in the 90s I’d you don’t mind. Love your vids but really love the baseball firsts

These are so good

Such a great show

Great video. Whenever I hit a homerun I make sure to do the kirk fist pump. Classic.

They finally listened to my requests 😛 I wish I was old enough to actually remember watching this game but I was only about 5 months old when it happened. Still our most recent WS victory, which sucks.

Ronde Barber, 2003 NFC Championship game, 95-yard interception return. That game was so memorable but that was the most memorable moment.

My 18th Birthday!!!!!! I remember watching this game on my college radio station's TV while writing the story for the morning news at the station.

you gotta play out the moments more you missed Scully's classic line "in the year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened!"

These are great.

This is a close second for the best moment in sports history. The kick six wins out for the history between the two teams, but this is right there with it. For someone to hit a homerun in this situation with two injured legs is nothing short of incredible.

Best series on RU-vid, Period.

If you see this SB Nation, more Dodgers content would be AMAZING. I am subscribed and I have watched every single rewinder

My cousin was on the Dodgers bench. He was pitcher Tim Crews, may he R.I.P.

I love these

Rewinder has to be the best segment SB Nation does.

I think the best part of the Kirk Gibson home run is that just before Eckersley threw the 3-2 Gibson called for time remembering that Dodgers scout Mel Dider had once told him that Eckersley on a 3-2 count to a left handed hitter would definitely throw a back-door slider. After taking his time and hearing that information from Dider in his head he stepped back in, was thrown a back-door slider and the rest is history.

Cracking a cold one with my Bois

great video

One of my best memories. Gibby Mr. Clutch!!

Adore the old school production.

Jack Buck always had the best call of Gibson's home run. "I don't believe... what I just saw! I don't BELIEVE what I just saw!

Do Gonzo's hit in game 7 of the 2001 world series

This series is awesome

Came for the Kirk Gibson, stayed for the end zinger. Was not disappointed. Outstanding.

Not until just recently, did I find out that Kirk Gibson was actually a beast of a man when it came to sports

A rewinder on the NRL 2015 Grand Final would be awesome. Inarguable one of the wildest endings of any championship of any sport.

Great video! Actually, Davis' walk was more of an intentional walk. According to Eckersley, he and the catcher saw that Dave Anderson was due up and they felt that it would be better to go after Anderson instead of Davis. Oops! What they didn't know was that Lasorda was keeping Gibson in the hallway and not in the dugout. When Davis walked, that is when Gibson came out and took a few swings in the on deck circle. The rest, is history! (P.S. I was AT the game and saw this home run!)

As a 49ers fan, I want you to do the 2011 divisional playoff game agaist the Saints (Jan 2012). The rewind abput the team being 2-12, drafting Alex Smith, his coach questioning his toughness, fans chanting "We want Carr" on Monday (or thursday?) Night football, his next Mike Singletary coach saying "You need a QB" after being fired, the Vernon Davis attitude problem with Singletary, Bounty gate and how the Saints were head hunting, and yet with 3rd and 3 (just like how The Catch and the Catch II were both on 3rd and 3), Alex Smith connects with Davis to win the game. The Radio call "Alex to the post (Cohost Eric davis screams 'He's got it! Whoo hoo!') Smith with the play of his life. Vernon Davis with the play of his life. Can you feel Candlestick?!" That is a moment in history that I will always have.

I’d say do a Deep Rewind of the 2004 ALCS... but there are so many great moments that I don’t think you could do just one video

God I love this series, but as a RU-vid commenter you’ve gotta go with the flow. Something, something Jon Bois.

4:07 Nice, hearing my man Rick. I know his parents and they help my grandmother often

What a legend

Rewind: Edgar Martinez's walk-off in game 5 1995 ALDS vs Yankees

Legendary.

Please do the 1993 walk off world series, PLEASE this one does need a rewind

That must’ve been one of those moments for people watching at home like “man, if he hits it out” and then imagining it over and over again during the AB, and then when it finally did happen they thought they were dreaming or something

Then in 1990 the A’s get swept by the Reds. Some say they’ll come back and win it to this day...

This is by far the best explanation of why Gibson's home run was as improbable as I always heard it was.

I'd like to suggest one of my iconic sports moments from the 90s for a Rewind.....Steve Yzerman's 2OT Game Seven Winner 1996 versus St Louis. Both teams were filled with drama and storylines and stars, and the Blues almost pulled one of the greatest upsets in terms of regular season point differential. The Wings were just starting their great run. The Blues had some guys named Gretzky, Hull, Pronger, MacInnis, Hawerchuk, Anderson, and Fuhr. Game Seven. Late start time due to TV rights scheduling for the playoffs. Scoreless after four periods (including overtime). Second OT starts in the wee hours of the morning local time. Yzerman picks up a loose puck off an unforced Gretzky turnover, slaps a shot from the blue line, and.....

Joe Carter walk off home run in 1993 for next rewind video

4:43 It’s also said he and teammate Mark McGwire collaborated on a rap album that year...but sadly it’s been lost in the wind.

Gibson what hero's are made of

Hearing Vin Scully Is The Best. Nostalgia 🤙

It’s worth noting that Gibson read the scouting report on Eckersly, that he throws 3-2 sliders backdoor. That’s what he got, he was ready for it, and he crushed it!

Chills, as usual.

The game winning touchdown from the 2018 CFB National Championship deserves a pretty deep rewind.

Seriously loved this vid as a Dodger fan

Joey Bats’ bat flip needs a rewinder. I know it’s recent history, but it’s perfect for this show in my opinion

Baseball is magical

do a rewind of the 2012 AFC Divisional round game against the ravens and broncos.

Rewinder: Bobby Orr's famous OT goal to win the Stanley Cup in 1970

Awesome. You guts gotta do game 162 of the 2011 mlb season/ Game 6 of the 2011 world series.

There’s even more to this. Gibson had thoroughly studied Eckersly’s scouting report, and he knew that Dennis loved to throw the 3-2 slider. Gibson got a 3-2 count, and sure enough, he got that slider. The rest is history...

Please please please do a rewinder of the Auburn Kick 6. The confluence of events leading up to that was insane and will never ever happen again.

Beckie Scott's Olympic Gold deserves a deep rewind! One of the most interesting stories in sport.

can you please do malcom butlers interception, this one was great as always

Do the Bill Mazeroski home run in 1960 World Series please Love your work Hope to see the video

I know that you haven’t made a rewinder episode in over a year, but if you did a NASCAR rewinder that would be awesome.

I hope you do the '96 Olympics Women's Gymnastics Team Final for this soon. That'll be a great one.
