Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 My favorite was Vin calling the Kirk Gibson at bat. Kirk was injured, and did not even start the game. Lasorda put Kirk in, to pinch-hit. It was bottom of the 9th inning, and Kirk had a call of 3 balls, and 2 strikes, with one man on first, and the Dodgers down one run. Kirk could hardly walk, much less run down to first base, so bunting was not an option. Go on to youtube, and watch the call. Vin was THE BEST. You will be greatly missed Vin. Until we see you again...rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 They were discussing Vin on the local radio station this AM. Even though he is considered THE voice of the Dodgers, he grew up a Giants fan. Imagine being a NY Giants fan while working for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 One of the all time greats. He's probably having a beverage with Curt Gowdy and Joe Garagiola.

Announcers these days would be flapping their gums instead of just letting the moment speak for itself. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
