Kirk Gibson threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Thursday’s Opening Day game against the Giants.
Before doing so, the Dodgers played a tribute video in the stadium featuring celebrity appearances and Vin Scully’s iconic call of Gibson’s 1988 World Series Game 1 walk-off home run.
Celebrating the 30th anniversary of that year, Gibson then re-enacted the moment Thursday afternoon. He walked out of the dugout and took a couple swings in the on-deck circle. The Dodgers had the same bat on the field he used to hit the legendary home run. He then delivered a strike on a first pitch to Orel Hershiser.
“You changed all of our lives,” Hershiser said to Gibson.
