July 29, 20223 yr The Benetti thread got me thinking about my home run call...you know, if I was a baseball announcer. Around age 15 it became clear that announcing baseball was the closest I could ever hope to get to professional baseball. That hasn't panned out yet, but hey, you never know. Anyway, I've known for about two decades what my home run call would be if I could ever get into the booth. Simple, straightforward, tasteful, and easily repeatable: "Ladies and gentlemen, that ball is deep. and. GONE!" If you ever hear it, I've either made it or somebody's ripped me off. What's your home run call?
July 29, 20223 yr "That ball is hit deep, it's got a chance, SURVEY SAYS....GONE!" Feel free to ride my call to the top, kid. Edited July 29, 20223 yr by KrankinSox

July 29, 20223 yr That's a Ring Ding Dinger, Folks. If you can envision a Milo Hamilton voice, all the better. Edited July 29, 20223 yr by wegner folks sounded more Milo-esque

July 29, 20223 yr I would do play by play of the runner(s) going around the bases and get fired the same day I started.

Most of our homerun calls are usually Oh (insert your choice of profane words) because the other team is doing it.

July 30, 20223 yr "Slow to a trot and watch it hit the seats! Hey partner remember before 2022 when Sox fans came to games?"
July 30, 20223 yr “Swing and a drive deep left center field and it’s a goner! Ordonez has teed off!” ”Thomas unloads on one, deep right field, back goes Dye and it’s a goner!!” “Swing and a long one to left! It’s gonna go! It’s a slam! Sox lead 6-4! Light it up!” - Ed Farmer on the Konerko grand slam ”A swing and a high fly ball, deep left center field, this is way back in the gap, and it’s a goner!! And the White Sox win on a Podsednik home run!” - John Rooney on the Pods walk off. ”White Soxxxx winnnn!” - Intro to the ESPN broadcast by Len Kasper “Swing and an actual line drive instead of a pop up! I’m glad one of these bums still can hit! That ball is gone! Finally!” - Inning where they tie it on a Harrison bomb ”Oh no! They blew it again! Why can’t we throw a pitch somewhere that makes a better work than serving one up on a silver platter!?!? Sox are down again and it’s looking ugly folks. - Where a team makes a home run look like it hit effortlessly while the Sox struggle to hit anything that isn’t a pop up or routine grounder.
