The other star of Freddie Freeman's World Series Grand Slam: Fox broadcaster Joe Davis

Freddie Freeman hit the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history on Friday, giving the Los Angeles Dodgers a 6-3 victory and a 1-0 lead over the New York Yankees, and Fox broadcaster Joe Davis only needed six words to perfect the winning moment:

Freeman's grand slam was historically significant in its own right, but Davis found a way to tie it to a very important part of the Dodgers' history. Because while there had never been a walk-off grand slam in the World Series, there was a walk-off home run by a disabled first baseman in Game 1 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium.

Davis serves as the regular season play-by-play man for the Dodgers after taking over the job for the legendary Vin Scully during the 2017 season. Davis decided to honor Scully by borrowing his signature “She's Gone!” Home run call for Freeman's grand slam.

He even went further, comparing the moment to Kirk Gibson's home run in the 1988 World Series, in which the All-Star slugger pinch-hit in Game 1 despite injuries to both legs, beating closer Dennis Eckersley Oakland Athletics Hall of Fame was, prevailed.

Scully's shout after that home run was one of the best of his legendary 67-year career: “She's…gone!” …In a year that was so unlikely, the impossible happened!” You can see both calls overlaid here:

Both Davis and Scully chose to let the moments breathe after their initial reactions, letting the sounds of a cheering team and stadium take over. Davis waited a full minute before bowing to the consequences:

Davis even managed to work in a reference to a second Gibson home run call, such as Jack Buck's “I don't believe what I just saw!” is also highly regarded in the annals of baseball broadcasting history.

When color commentator John Smoltz said the moment was hard to believe, Davis responded, “Would you say you didn't believe what you just saw?”

What made the night even more special for the Dodgers was the man they represented with a patch on their jerseys. Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela, who was part of the 1988 team that went on to win the World Series, died earlier this week.

The Dodgers honored Valenzuela with a moment of silence before Friday's game and forwent a first pitch by having Valenzuela's former teammates Orel Hershiser and Steve Yeager place a ball on a mound painted with Valenzuela's No. 34.

On the Dodgers Radio Network, play-by-play man Stephen Nelson made sure to reference Valenzuela and another legendary Scully call (“If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky,” after Valenzuela's no-hitter in 1990). his own reference to Gibson:

It was a special night at Dodger Stadium, and the calls from Davis and Nelson helped spread the magic to the millions watching at home. That is the job of a broadcaster.
