Exactly! Bottom of the ninth. Tying run on base. 3 and 2. And on the way there, attempted steals, the home crowd booing every time the pitcher checked the first base runner, multiple foul or almost-fair balls. As if that wasn't enough, two California teams in the final series, a record setting pitcher and a beloved/injured record setting hitter! And as you imply, you could only make this stuff up. But no, it really happened. Maybe it SHOULD be a movie. Hmmm.

Jack Buck underscores what's missing in modern baseball. He and Vin Scully is so reminiscent of those great days of radio sportscasting - they cut their teeth on radio and knew how to bring excitement and drama to the radio audience. When TV emerged, these guys brought those radio skills with them and it made for great TV coverage. So much so, my dad (born in 1915) would often watch games on TV with the sound turned off and listen to the games over the radio. He did this all the time in his latter years.

It is nice to be able to watch the whole sequence as it is really hard to appreciate how badly he was hurt.

You can also see how he is basically just using his arms to try to hit. Can't use his lower body at all to drive the bat which makes it even more incredible.

When you win a world series game, and essentially the series, with a walk off your hamstring suddenly doesn't hurt quite as bad.

I was at this game, upper deck behind first base, rooting for the A's :(. I was an epic moment, felt like an earthquake:).

I don’t believe I ever heard that call. Always thought we just had Vin Scully’s play by play. Even as a Giants fan I appreciate the magnitude of all the people involved.

As an Oakland resident at the time, I still have not recovered from this game.

fitting that McGwire features prominently here...Gibson's physiological impediment contrasted with McGwire's supraphysiological enhancement makes the victory so much sweeter.

This was 1988, Mac wasn't on the juice then. That was just his normal body. He got way bigger when on the sauce.

Give Bill White some credit for the call as well, a great Yankees announcer who was working for the World Series that year for Dodgers radio station

I swear to God the As were a powerhouse team that year and the Dodgers barely made the playoffs at all but ,when Gibson hit that home run I knew the As were done. You could see it on thier faces.

I watched this at the bar at Tio Leo's in San Diego. I called this shot when Gibson came to bat. Nes, the bartender said he would buy a round for the house if it happened. It did, but he didn't. He bought me one though.
