The call comes from October 3, 1951, when Bobby Thomson hit the Shot Heard Round the World for the New York Giants against the Brooklyn Dodgers to win the National League pennant. Giants broadcaster Russ Hodges repeated the line on WMCA radio as Thomson rounded the bases, and the recording survived to become one of baseball's most replayed broadcasts. It is still quoted in highlights, documentaries and memes whenever an underdog finishes a late comeback.
