Greatest Single Baseball Call

[Johnny Dangerously]

In the '80s the Braves were in the ninth inning of an impending victory over the Giants, and Skip Carey plugged an upcoming movie by saying, "We've got 'The Magnificent Seven' warming up in the bullpen, and we'll bring it to you after Jeffrey Leonard hits into this 6-4-3 double play."

(One thousand one, one thousand two ...)

Crack!

"Six ... four ... three. Back with the totals after this."

Another great Carey standby:

- In the middle of another 100-loss season, as the home team came to bat in a particular inning: "... and we've reached the bottom of another fifth."

Vintage Skip.

After Adam LaRoche was being booed for "not trying hard" last year, Skip just threw in the this line during a game.

"A little boos (read booze) never hurt anybody."
