Oops! Dodgers confuse Jack Buck with Vin Scully
Two of the greatest baseball broadcasters, Jack Buck and Vin Scully.Jack Buck and Vin Scully, two of the best baseball broadcasters ever, had memorable calls of Kirk Gibson’s epic two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 1 in the 1988 World Series. That’s when he hobbled out of the trainer’s room to win the game for the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-4 over Oakland.
This year the Dodgers are selling tickets to the seat where the ball ended up, along with one next to it, for $300 per game, with $200 of that to be given to charity — the Kirk Gibson Foundation that raises money and awareness for Parkinson’s disease research.
