"And so the Dodgers are down to their final out...and look who's coming up! Kirk Gibson, on two bad legs. You talk about a roll of the dice, this is it... "High fly ball to deep right field...she...is...GOOOOONE! "The impossible has happened!"

Shot heard round the world. Grew up in San Francisco..Plus I had an old school tape of baseball songs that had it on it. That tape was awesome come to think of it. [/ QUOTE ] There's a long drive...it's gonna be...I believe... The Giants Win the Pennant! The Giants Win the Pennant! and they're picking Bobby Thompson up...and carrying him off the field. One other I remember from an old baseball record with songs and famous calls; 2 and 2 to Harvey Kuenn, One Strike Away. Struck Him Out a Perfect Game. (Scully's doing Koufax's perfecto)

[ QUOTE ] I think it's Vin Scully, his last line of Limp Off home run... "And the Dodgers win the game, 5-4, I don't believe what I just saw!" [/ QUOTE ] that wasn't scully. it was Jack Buck on Radio. Vin was on TV and his call went like this: "Long line drive to right field, a waaaay back, shhhheeeee isssssssss GOOOOOOOONE!!" i still get chills. [/ QUOTE ] I also recall Don Drysdale making that home run call. He was so wound up, he could barely speak. I really like this call the best because you can share his excitement and disbelief. However, looking back on it, I am not sure what broadcast this could have come from. Buck was doing the network and Scully must have been doing the radio. Could Drysdale have made the Gibson call as well? Anyone out there remember?

Scully was on TV (NBC i think) I can only imagine Drysedale maybe doing the dodgers radio broadcast for the home station. i've never heard it.

Re: memorized radio calls
[ QUOTE ]
whats so special about that high school game i never heard of it before? [/ QUOTE ] I searched high and low, and can't find a link to buy the video. (Off the top of my foggy head, so all numbers are estimates): It was 41-17 with about three minutes left, when the wildest series of events that I ever saw began to unfold. TD makes it 41-24. Try the onsides kick, recover it. Score again in about three plays. 2-point try no good. 41-30. Announcers congratulate the kids for not quitting. Try the onsides kick again. Recover! Go down and score another TD. 41-37. Wow, what a comeback to make it close. About a minute left. Try a third onside kick. They recover it again! You should know that the ball took wild bounces on all three onside kick efforts. Announcers are losing their minds. They got the ball, less than a minute, need a TD. They get one! Take the lead, 44-41. Four TD's and three onside recoveries in 3:03. Greatest comeback anyone can remember. What heart, what determination. These aren't pros, they're kids. You can't help but be touched. Only a few seconds left. Time for one more kickoff. Kid lets loose a boomer, sending the deepman retreating back to his three-yard-line to field it. The kick returner has to make an incredible over-the-shoulder catch just to have a chance to return this one. He returns it, all right. 97 yards for the game-winner! That great comeback has gone for naught. When the announcer says, "I'm gonna throw up," he wasn't exaggerating. What an emotional game. I'm getting emotional now, just typing this. That was the short version. You can read the long version here.
