While Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam in the tenth inning of Game 1, millions of Angelenos heard a call that resembled Vin Scully’s 1988 Kirk Gibson call.
“She is gone! Gibby, meet Freddie!”
In a moment that will forever be remembered in baseball history, Joe Davis paid homage to his predecessor in the best way possible.
However, Davis wasn’t satisfied with the call. He felt he could’ve paused longer in between his two short sentences that eloquently connected the two iconic walk-offs in Dodgers history.
“I felt like maybe I was talking over the crowd a little too much, even though it was only another two seconds or so,” Davis told Bill Shaikin of The Los Angeles Times.
