What sport calls

Also, it wasn't an in-game call but seeing Troy Brown at the Super Bowl celebration last year take the mic and go "Bingo! Bingo! I got Bingo! We win again!" was awesome.

Bill King's (long time radio announcer for the A's and Raiders) call of the "Holy Roller" player. This was in 1978 in a Raiders-Chargers game when Ken Stabler purposely fumbled the ball forward on the last play of the game when he was about to be sacked and the ball rolled into the endzone where Dave Casper fell on it for the touchdown to win the game. The rule was changed the next year.

The RAIDERS score on the most zany ... absolutely ... impossible dream of a

play ... Madden is on the field ... he wants to know if it's real ... they

say yes get your big BUTT outta here ... he does ...... there's nothing real

in the world anymore ............. this one will be re-lived .............

FOREVER!

"Swing and a ground ball, stabbed by Foulke. He has it. He under hands to first. And the Boston Red Sox are the World Champions. For the first time in 86 years, the Red Sox have won baseball's world championship.

 

Can you believe it?" -Joe Castiglione on WEEI 850 AM, October 27, 2004.

 

Joe Buck's call will always stick in my mind as well, considering everyone in America was listening to it when he said it and it's probably the main reason I'll remember him in 50 years.

I can't believe no one mentioned Gibson's HR. Not Jack Buck's call though, where he threw out every phrase he could to make it a memorable call. Vin Scully's method of shutting the fuck up after the initial HR was far superior.

Ones that I never saw live (of course):

 

"THE GIANTS WON THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WON THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WON THE PENNANT!..."

 

"Havlicek's stolen the ball!"

 

"...Henderson made a wild stab at it and fell. He's another shot! RIGHT IN FRONT! HE SCORES! HENDERSON!!!"

 

Ones I've seen live:

 

"Jordan....OHHH....a spectacular move by Michael Jordan!"

 

"Now the 2-2....WELL HIT DEEP DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE....WAY BACK AND GONE!!!! ..... Joe Carter, with a three-run homer...."

 

I'll leave what the events were as an exercise to the reader. :)
