Gibson later said that Davis stealing Second made him relax even more knowing that all he needed to do was a base hit.

Yeah

Was a big A's fan back then. This was one of the most devastating moments in my spectating life. What set me off was the walk to Davis. How can you not challenge him. One of the great relievers entering his best years. 72 ip and only 11 walks in '88. He ain't Babe Ruth. Pitch to him for Gods sake. After that Gibbys homer seemed inevitable. Kiss my as....

AMAZING!

Gran pelotero!! Y una world series inolvidable!! 1988!! Saludos cordiales desde CDMX 🇲🇽

The great Vin Scully, with Joe Garagiola(sp.?). I've watched this a hundred times and its still thrilling..."The human drama of athletic competition. " -Jim McKay

My son was just two months old and I was holding him when the ball was hit I threw him up in the air and had to make a clutch catch myself!

Still in my belief, the most epic home run in all of baseball history!

Great job, Kirk! I saw Kirk play in Lansing, Michigan in the fall of 1977....football not baseball. He was a great receiver for the MSU Spartans in college football.

Eck and Hassey played for Cleveland, that explains it

I was 14 at the time time and watched this entire series tensely. I still can't believe A's blew game one. I think this game broke them psychologically for this series. Vin Scully did the play by play by as perfectly as it can be done. Said little but spoke when needed and quiet when needed. Legendary call

Hey! Barry Bonds, did you see that? Kirk made contact and took off toward 1st. He didn't stand there and watch it go. Wanna try that some time punk?

Best hit e ever!😂😂🎉🎉🎉Thank the good Lord!!! Gibson is the best!!!😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

Gibson the Original steroid man

1988 comes GOD to Honduras October 17th black like MR T yes black like mr T.😮*

1985 standing post 6.

Its moments like this that you will never forget where you were when it happened, and shows why Playoff Baseball Is the best Event ever of any sport

Europeans are thinking, "what's the big deal"?

Really masterful the way Gibson came back from an 0-2 count. Few other broadcaster voices could describe that moment.

I haven't followed baseball since the Montreal Expos moved to Washington. Eckersley was an amazing pitcher!

I remember that night and that hit. I was 14 and GLUED to the tv.

I was there as a Dodger season ticket holder...almost missed it! It was bleak!

Vin Scully was the best of all. In the year of the improbable, the impossible has happened! Inspired!

@mtmals9786 0 seconds ago How I miss those days..watching a game like this on TV.. no year subscription on vodo. Imagine the lost fans.

From Michigan State University and a former Detroit Tiger, he is now an announcer for the Detroit Tigers. He played football and baseball and could have played professional football. They say he kept order in the locker room. Not the God but one of the gods😊

This is a Rocky moment ⚾️🙏🎆🇺🇲 😊

No, it was for 3 minutes and 10 seconds that Scully said nothing!! Name one broadcaster who would have done that. And then he says the perfect words to sum up the moment-“In a season that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened!” Sports broadcasting at its finest.

I once told Vin Scully years ago he could recite the Los Angeles phone book and I'd pay attention.

I'm still pissed off. Was supposed to be there but my ex witch said if I go she'd break up with me. Was a pussy then, no more.

"One former Oakland A to hit for another" I don't think that is correct grammar, but since it was Vince Scully, it was right on the money.

Gibson called time and a coach told him once look out for the backdoor slider. Good night.

Gibson is a Mexican living legend. Greatest Mexican bb player.

Take it look at McGuire before the steroids. Lol.

I feel like Davis threw off Dennis when he called time, and Dennis never came back from it

Shout out to Jack Buck on the radio too. "I don't believe what I just saw"

Who has "I dont believe what i just saw"?

That brought back memories I remember thinking after he hit it we are going to win the series and we did it was a magical season for the Dodgers 💙

And that’s why I like baseball a lot more than football. Games like these are much more exciting.

I remember watching this live in my brand new house, on my brand new 20” Sony Trinitron! What a game! What a picture! 😂🤣😂

I agree with all the comments and replies. The Absolute Best Home Run in MLB History, and in The World Series on a 3 - 2 Pitch and in Bottom of 9th Inning, down by 1 Run, with a 2 Run Home Run. And of Course The Greatest Sports Announcer of All Time, Mr Vin Scully. 36 years later, I still get goose bumps. Wow what a great At Bat. HOME RUN. Go Dodgers.

Look how white dodgers fan base was

I remember watching this game with my mom and OMG I almost couldn't believe it , Kirk. Gibson with 2 bad legs and when he hit that homerun just strutted round the bases , won the game and the A's were in shock . Millions of people watching and loving every bit of it. Vin Scully was amazed and rightly so . I'll never forget that game , I was 33 then , and I just turned 70 , Go Dodgers .

Vin Scully was the best to ever call a game of any sport.

The greatest baseball moment of my life.

Vin Scully, almost as good as Bob Prince. Did you forget a bout Bill Mazeroski’s home run in the bottom of the ninth inning in the last game of the series in 1960 that gave the Pittsburgh Pirates the Pennant.

I was working in an electronics store, my boss and I bought a 12 pack and watched this game on the biggest television available at the time. I will never forget this moment in history.

I remember this distinctly as a 15 year old huge Okland A's fan from Canada. As soon as Gibson hit that homer, I knew Oakland didn't have a chance.

Nice not seeing the extreme framing that you see today

The gamesmanship of not having Gibson come out until Davis got the walk so he could take a few extra seconds to warm up with the crowd roaring. Genius move by Lasorda. The multiple time outs Gibson used. Fouled off pitches. They worked Eckersley as good as they could.

I have never understood why this is such a historic moment. A dramatic end to game one to be sure but baseball, including world series, are rife with many more dramatic moments.
