1988
bullet::::- longtime los angeles dodgers' broadcaster vin scully called the 1988 world series for a national television audience on nbc with joe garagiola. unknown to the fans and the media at the time, kirk gibson was watching the game on television while undergoing physical therapy in the dodgers' clubhouse. at some point during the game, television cameras scanned the dodgers dugout and scully, observed that gibson was nowhere to be found. this spurred gibson to tell dodgers manager tommy lasorda that he was available to pinch hit. gibson immediately returned to the batting cage in the clubhouse to take practice swings. bob costas, who along with marv albert, hosted nbc's world series pregame coverage and handled postgame interviews made on-air statements that enraged many in the dodgers' clubhouse (especially manager tommy lasorda). after the dodgers won game 4, lasorda (during a postgame interview with marv albert) sarcastically said that the mvp of the world series should be bob costas. while kirk gibson was taking practice swings in the dodgers' clubhouse during game 1, orel hershiser set up the hitting tee for his teammate. along the way, costas could hear gibson's agonized-sounding grunts after every hit. costas said that the 1988 dodgers possibly had the weakest hitting line-up in world series history.
list of world series broadcasters
during the 1953 world series, long time dodgers announcer red barber refused to man the broadcast booth due to a compensation dispute with gillette. barber jumped ship to the yankees and joined mel allen to call the games for the yankees. struggling to find a replacement, the dodgers gave the call to a 25-year-old named vin scully, the youngest man to ever call a world series game for a major network. scully would go on to continue as a dodgers broadcaster for another 6 decades.
