What followed the play I posted earlier was one of my favorite intersections of sports drama and broadcasting brilliance.
Game 5. Tigers up, 3-1, in the series. They’re up, 5-4, in the eighth. Second and third and one out. Kirk Gibson at the plate against Goose Gossage.
Vin Scully lays out for 1:35, just letting the father of TV baseball directors, Harry Coyle, paint pictures with the background wash of a delirious Tiger Stadium crowd.
Then he punctuates it with as good an off-the-cuff close out as I’ve ever heard going to break.
It’s worth your time.
The end of an unforgettable chapter. 🇦🇷
Argentina has departed Kansas City for the final time. Gracias, La Albiceleste. ❤️
