Greatest Single Baseball Call

[Chef]

Everyone's got their favorites that they know who called it, etc.

IMO--"Swing and a drive......and we'll see you tomorrow night"; Jack Buck......Puckett's GW HR against ATL.


Honorable mention: Jack Buck--Game 1 WS......."I don't believe what I just saw."

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I was going to say Don Denkinger's safe call in the 1985 series...

 

[Songbird]

"To the track ... to the wall ... GONE!"

Vin Scully, best there ever was.

 

[Chef]

Oohhh........aaaaaahhhhh.......

Hey, has DD been mentioned as one of the greatest umpires of all time?

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I remember one of Scully's where he said, "If you're wearing a sombrero, throw it in the air..."

I don't remember which game that was, but it always makes me laugh...

 

[Jim Tom Pinch]

I don't want to steal from Sports Predictor, but knowing how much Cleveland fans had suffered, I just remember watching the Indians beat the Yankees and the venerable Harry Doyle shouting with glee:

"The Indians win it. The Indians win it. Oh my God, the Indians win it."

It was a great moment for Cleveland sports.

 

[slappy4428]

"The Indians Win! The Indians Win! OH MY GOD! THE INDIANS WIN!"
EDIT: Damn you Jimtom... beat me by seconds

 

[Mizzougrad96]

"I don't believe what I just saw!" has to be up there, even if it was for the ****ing Dodgers on Gibson's HR...

 

[cortez]

"Well DJ, we've got a barn-burner here tonight. It's 2-2 in the 9th in Oakland, and Bobby Jenks delivers to Eric Chavez.....................................................We'll be right back with the postgame show.''

 

[Armchair_QB]

"So Jim, you still keep in touch with Pete Rozelle?"

"The Indians win it. The Indians win it. Oh my God, the Indians win it."

The Indians have won something?

How about this one...

"After 86 years, the Boston Red Sox have won the World Series."

 

[Armchair_QB]

"I get it Arne, he kisses her on the strikes and she kissses him on the balls."

 

[pallister]

RIP, Harry.

 

[Chef]

RIP, Harry.

[Mizzougrad96]

Harry Caray...

"He lost it in the sun! How can he lose it in the sun, he's from Mexico..."

 

[sportshack06]

"I get it Arne, he kisses her on the strikes and she kissses him on the balls."

Got to love Skip Caray

My two all-time favorite Harry Caray-Steve Stone moments

Damon Berryhill, playing for Atlanta after being traded by the Cubs comes to Wrigley on an absolute tear.

Stone: "Tommy Aaron, the Braves hitting coached noticed that Damon was opening up too soon and all his good shots were going foul. They've redirected his swing and now all those good shots are going fair."

Harry: "Why didn't we have anybody who noticed that?"


No. 2

Harry: Mike Marshall didn't make the trip with the Dodgers. He's back in LA getting some cocaine for his foot."

Stone: "That's novocaine Harry."
