MAGA Moment
10/15/88: Vin Scully calls Kirk Gibson's full at-bat that finishes with a legendary walk-off homer during Game 1 of the World Series.
A product of freedom and the American way.
"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.
"Team managers 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."
MAGA. (and make America FUN again!)
