After each working day this week, I watched some baseball highlights uploaded by the good people of MLB.com. Among the package of exceptional defensive plays and walk-off wonders are those basic plays that generate a more than exuberant response from the play-by-play announcers broadcasting the game to their home audience. My favourite call comes from the South Side of Chicago as White Sox announcer Ken Harrelson demonstrates with this four-bagger hit at Comiskey Park, no less ^_^
The use of pyrotechnics during the daylight hours is what really makes me laugh :D Ken's genuine enthusiasm is what makes the call so much fun to replay over and over, and when he "wills" the ball over the fence the call is that much funnier to listen to and enjoy XD
Recently, however, I discovered the San Diego Padrers have a cool broadcaster, too. Padres' play-by-play man Jerry Coleman has a colourful vocabulary to pump colour into any play on the diamond :) How is he on BIG plays? :D
If the World Series this year features the Chicago White Sox and the San Diego Padres, I'm going to see if I can watch both feeds at once because it would be hilarious XD LOL
