Yes, Vinny helped set the stage on the national broadcast for what has become one of the most iconic moments in baseball history. While Gibson’s homer obviously does the heavy lifting, Vinny’s setup for the home audience has undoubtedly made the moment stand the test of time.
Brilliant people understand the moment. Thank you for sharing, Mr. Scully.

I am sure Dodgers and fans are tired of seeing reruns of Gibsons HR in 1988 that propelled a team far less talented than this year’s team to the last Ws win this franchise has experienced.
