I've recently had a complaint about the amount of baseball on this blog. Tough, deal with it. No, actually I've been meaning to put a bunch of other stuff up, hopefully I will tomorrow, or rather, later today.
But for the moment, my mind was drawn to some great baseball calls, some of which I'll gratuitously rip off and list here ;)
Most are home run calls
"Touch 'em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run"
"I don't believe what I just saw"
"Go crazy, folks, go crazy"
"Kiss 'er goodbye"
"Call up grandma and tell her to make a sandwich 'cause it's a grand salami" (ok, that one's not exactly right)
However, my personal favourite is probably actually a repetitive call, but not for a home run. If you haven't guessed yet, it comes from the late great Mark Holtz; at the end of every Rangers' win, he would deliver the line "Hello, win column!"
Nobody else could pull it off, I think, but it was absolutely fantastic, and I miss it.
