These were the memorable words of Vin Scully’s final call in his final game Dodger Stadium:
“Oh-and-one to Charlie, swung on, and a high fly ball to deep left field, the Dodger bench empties. Would you believe a home run? And the Dodgers have clinched the division and will celebrate on schedule. (pause) Leave it to the Dodgers. Charlie Culberson a game winning home run. What a moment to have it. And would you believe: His first home run of the year! So the Dodgers did what they hoped to do. It was a struggle, but they won it on their own merits, 4-3. The last home run that Charlie Culberson hit would be two years ago, in two thousand and fourteen against Cincinnati. So the Dodgers, for the fourth straight year, have won the National League division title in the West, and what a guy to do it: Charlie Culberson, after dramatic triple and a home run by Seager to keep them alive. Now they don’t care about the Padres and the Giants. Care not at all. And boy, did it work out perfectly — the final home game of the regular season.”
