This comment caught my eye....I did not know this.

"At the time, this call by Jack Buck was seen by many as weak and not matching the moment - in fact when he was fired by CBS after this series many articles mentioned this "un-enthusiastic" call of Puckett's homer as one of the things the network was dissatisfied with. Now it is one of the all-time classic baseball calls."

We used this call in the backyard whiffle ball games for years afterwards.
