The Dodgers and Giants were tied when Morgan came to the plate. I remember Dodgers fans being really loud all game. But Morgan's three-run home run was the blow that won the game and shut them up. I would have loved to have seen Tommy Lasorda when he hit that.

Here's the call by the great Vin Skully.
