Joe Buck's final World Series call was perfect

Vin Scully, the legendary Dodgers announcer who retired this season, had a signature move. It was simple and understated, which belied its brilliance: During a game's defining moment, Scully wouldn't try to insert himself into the middle of it, or force some pre-planned line. He would simply step away, and let the roar of the crowd pour into people's minds.

Joe Buck's performance in the booth has been one of the many bright spots in this historic World Series, and when the time to call the final play early Thursday morning, he capped it off beautifully. His excitement shone through, he was clear and concise, and then in the mold of Scully, he got out of the way. This was not a moment that needed excess hype. Buck delivered his call simply and perfectly, and this moment will live on fondly for years to come as a result.
