Call Of The Year

Comments   |   Print this   |   E-mail this

With the early start time in Toronto you may have missed an incredible moment Sunday.

Let me take you back a bit. On the pregame show there is a "Picks to Click" segment where the broadcasters and Mike Blowers pick who they think will be the days player of the game.

Sunday things got a little goofy during the segment and Mike made a wild prediction.

Tui's second at bat came in the top of the 5th inning and as you can hear, the Blowers prediction was on the mind of Dave Niehaus.

I cannot tell you how many times through the years I have sat next to Blowers during a game and he has told me exactly what was about to happen. This however, was unbelievable. And fun too! Truly two of the best calls of the year.

  Links to audio?

  Maybe I'm just missing it, but where are the links to the 2 audio files? I'd like to hear the calls you describe here...

  Hilarious!!

  That is definitely one of the calls of the year. I laughed for the first time today. Thanks, Shannon! Hopefully Blowers can call a few more homers before the season ends!!

  Unbelievable

  The best part is listening to him giggle during the call.

  Good gravy!

  I love that "Rizzs-iggle®" in this particular segment. Best. "Rizzs-iggle®." Ever!

  absolutely priceless

  The game was on early enough for me on Sunday that I missed it entirely, thinking it was going to be an afternoon game for some reason. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. More than anything else I love that these guys can find such joy in the little things, regardless of the score or the standings. That was just hilarious!

  Hilarious and creepy...

  Is there any other way to describe that? That was scary accurate and the reaction by Niehaus and Rizzs was even better.

  Incredible!

  I was actually listening to the game when Dave and Rizz began talking about it as Tui came up. You could just feel the excitement build as the calls went to 3-1. Then he hits the HR and wow, Neihaus gave the call of his career! Simply a gem! Priceless!

  It doesn't get better than this!

  The season is still fun, even if we aren't going anywhere. Here, is fun.
