Your favorite home run call

[AnthonyCorona]

I'm curious what everyone's favorite home run call is. My wife gets annoyed because I call every home run the same...... You can put it on the board..... YES!

This single call has to be the greatest.

For those of you young guys who don't know the story behind this epic HR, Google everything there possibly is to know about it. Be sure to watch the entire AB on Youtube (the attached highlight is only a minuscule fraction of the story). Be sure to Google who Roy Hobbs is too. Regardless if you're not a Dodgers fan, this baseball story is epic. And here's a card to prove it.

I'll be biased and this is what made me get back into collecting plus PC'ing Jay Bruce.

I'll never forget watching that hit. It's one of those baseball memories I'll always remember. Classic walk off HR from a great hitter that wasnt hitting so well at that time.

ETA: amazingly, Scully and Garagiola don't utter a peep for roughly 1:07. That's HoF broadcasting right there, folks. Know when to speak, but also know when to let the viewer soak up the moment.

My favorite.. Dave Niehaus

Eckersley watching the ball leave the yard

Still one of the greatest calls of all time!!

That Niehaus call cracks me up every time.

I did my own call of this at the AS Fan Fest in Seattle and I think I did a fantastic job. There was actually a small crowd who were cheating me on. However, I was extremely bummed to find out they had a technical issue and the recording didn't come out!

I ended up redoing it, but chose Aaron's 755 instead.

This is my favorite sports moment for obvious reasons.

No one's favorite is Berman's back back back back? I'm shocked

 

[tenballer]

It's definitely not from game 6 of the 91 world series. Tomahawk chop vs. homer hankies. Enough to make young braves fans cry - not me, but these guys I know...

I hate that call, the card and everything about the end of that game.

I'll take Lon Simmons, "Tell it goodbye!" everytime!

I totally understand where you're coming from. Even though I wasn't even alive, I can't stand to hear Russ Hodges call in 1951.

Harry Kalas' Final HR Call

The Hawk's call on this walk-off against the Yankees is my favorite. Probably doesn't hurt that I own the bat Dunn used to hit this home run.
