I was eight years old when I watched this on TV. My family had immigrated to the United States just one year before. I never really felt like I fit in, either in school or the country. But I remember watching this game, talking about it with my friends -- and it was the first time I truly felt American. Whenever I rewatch this clip and hear Vin Scully's commentary, it brings back that special moment as though it were yesterday. Godspeed, Mr. Scully. You really did exemplify the best of our great country. Your voice will live on. I know I'll never forget it.

This, boys and girls, is that rare perfect moment in life, where everything comes together. The biggest stage. The best players on the best teams. Kirk Gibson, an MVP that could barely walk, coming in to face the future Hall of Famer, and best reliever in the game at the time, Dennis Eckersley. And the immortal Vin Scully calling the action. If it’s any other pitcher, the moment, while still great, is not legendary. A healthy Gibson, and the moment, while great, is not legendary. Any other announcer blabbing through the moment-it’s still memorable, but it’s not legendary. LaRussa against Lasorda. Two chess masters. The entire state of California rocking, each picking their team, Oakland or Los Angeles. And a moment that will reverberate through the ages. How can you not be romantic about baseball?

He steps out of the box at 3/2 to get ready for it. The home run is amazing and it still gives me chills, but the at bat is what makes it phenomenal. He had him 0/2, he battles back to 3/2 and then he hits the home run because he knew what was coming. WOW. I just watched the Dodgers win it tonight. 32 yrs later.

As a fellow Tigers fan, I completely agree. We claim Gibby to be "our own" with so many great moments in a Tiger uniform, but I think that this at bat for the Dodgers from Gibby has to be the most epic moment of his career. Way more dramatic than his HR off Gossage in the 84 series at Tiger Stadium...although that was also an awesome moment. And how about Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola on this call. We were blessed in Detroit to have a couple of the best broadcasters in the history of the game with the great Ernie Harwell, his partner Paul Carey and Hall of Famer George Kell.

Growing up in SoCal during this time was amazing. We had Vin Scully calling the Dodgers, Chick Hearn calling the Lakers and Bob Miller calling the Kings. I don't think there has ever been a better cast of sportscasters in one city before or since.
