Dodgers confuse Buck with 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 Game 1 of 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 team is 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 it says raise money and awareness for Parkinson’s Research.
