memorized radio calls
 

What radio calls do you have memorized verbatim? Like most people who have been duck fans since before the mid 90s here is mine:

Huard's gonna go back to throw the ball. Steps up, looks, throws toward the corner of the endzone. IT IS INTERCEPTED, INTERCEPTED THE DUCKS HAVE THE BALL! Down to the 35, the 40 KENNY WHEATON'S GONNA SCORE! KENNY WHEATON'S GONNA SCORE! the 20, the 10 TOUCHDOWN, KENNY WHEATON ON THE INTERCEPTION! A most improbable finish to the football game...

- Jerry Allen, Washington - Oregon 1994

There's a steal by Bird! Underneath to DJ, he lays it in!

Touchdown, Titans! There are no--flags--on the football--field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle!

Leon Lett! OH...MY...GOODNESS...GRACIOUS!

Here's Michael at the foul line GOOOOOD! THE BULLS WIN! THEY WIN!

There's a fly ball, deep right field, and...WHAT A GRAB! Evans, leaping high in the air, and robbing Joe Morgan of a home run. Throw to first, they've got the double play.

The Indians win! The Indians win! OH MY GOD, THE INDIANS WIN!

And from the greatest high school football game ever played:

--Look at 33 over there, he's putting his pads back on! They thought it was over!

--All you people who left early, and are listening to this in the parking lot, or driving back to Plano: SHAME ON YOU!

--If they punch it in here, I'm gonna jump right out of this booth!

--No. NO. NO!!! I'm gonna throw up. God bless these boys!

Dave Mishkin, Tampa Bay Lightning radio voice on 620 WDAE.

"Khabibulin knocks it away... it's done! its over! Its over! Its over!! (Phil Esposito in the background.. Stanley Cup, Tampa Bay YES!!) Dave: The Lightning have won the Stanley Cup! The Lightning have won the Stanley Cup! How does this sound... (Phil yacking in background) The Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning!!"

I will remember that until the day I die.

Also, from the Bucs vs. Rams, week 3 in 2002-2003 season, the season that the Bucs won the SB... Late in the game.. Gene Deckerhoff had the call as Derrick Brooks iced the game with an INT returned for a TD.

"Warner drops back to pass... fires.. AAHH intercepted! Derrick Brooks, 25,20,15,10, 5 TOUCHDOWN Tampa Bay! Derrick Brooks, Bad hammies, going to the locker room!"

He was playing with a pulled hammy, quite painful it appeared. He was holding the back of his leg as he went into the endzone. Quite memorable for me because I was there =)

Were you fortunate enough to hear that live? I didn't, but have heard recordings of it, right up to the "I'm gonna throw up. God bless these boys." Greatest finish ever.

I saw a link to buy the game on DVD, and I did.

Sorry, can't remember the link. I'm sure you'll find it if you run a search on "Greatest High School Football Game".

It's worth it. I guarantee, you'll cry like a baby if you watch it.

It comes on two discs. You can skip the first disc, which is the first two or three quarters.

Shot heard round the world.

Grew up in San Francisco..Plus I had an old school tape of baseball songs that had it on it. That tape was awesome come to think of it.

I think it's Vin Scully, his last line of Limp Off home run... "And the Dodgers win the game, 5-4, I don't believe what I just saw!"
