he didn't do the victorino slam inning, if that's what you are looking for

Well, how about the home town calls, whoever did them?

Just wanted to post in here really. Heard the GS call on the radio in the car. I was parked. I opened my car door and almost got out and ran around but thought better. I just slammed it shut and started yelling. It was fun.

That is funny. I don't even know what I am doing it till I do it usually but when a big homer happens I always seem to end standing up doing some kind of funky happy dance

by **CalvinBall** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 01:29:22

Franzke during Myers AB was funny. He said something along the lines of "The crowd is on their feet, waving their towels for Brett Myers and... he is at the plate!"

I usually jump up and hump the air. The wife loves it (but thinks i'm an idiot, of course)

by **WilliamC** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 01:33:02

Shane's homer I was sitting with my sister and one of her friends and I jumped up and screamed "shabam" or something and did some kind of pointing thing at the tv. Her friend is hot and and I think she dug my coold digs

by **meatball** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 01:37:34

she didn't, but your celebration was appropriate

Haha, I heard that as well. I was driving home during the Myers AB, and then saw Victorino's HR soon after I got back.

man, that GS call gave me chills. and this is awesome: right before the pitch, Franzke goes, "Nine of Victorino's 14 home runs this season have come from the right side of the plate." And then BOOM.

IN GAME 3 OF THE 1977 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES BETWEEN THE Los ANGELES DODGERS AND Philadelphia Phillies, Dodgers pitcher Burt Hooton was staked to a 2-0 lead but was struggling in the bottom of the second inning at Veterans Stadium.

With two men on base and two out, Hooton had a 1-and-2 count on Phillies hurler (L)arry Christenson. Hooton then reared back and fired what he believed was an inning-ending strike three. But plate umpire Harry Wendelstedt called it a ball.

"I turned and kicked the rubber real hard," Hooton recalled. "Everbody seemed to be watching. A few fans started yelling, then more picked it up and it just started to go around. It got noisier than those jets at Shea Stadium except it went on and on with every pitch. I lost my cool."

Hooton was so rattled that he walked Christenson to load the bases. Then as the crescendo of hoots from 63,000 Philly fans intensified, the flustered hurler walked the next three batters before he was taken out of the game (which the Dodgers won, 6-5).

"I lost my composure and never got it back," Hooton admitted. "The noise from those fans was unbelievable."

HEY BILL CONLIN YOU MIGHT WANT TO MENTION THIS IN YOUR COLUMN TOMORROW!!!!!!!

He did not expect the Shane Victorino grand slam out of the No. 2 hole in the five-run second inning that was set up by a heroic, nine-pitch at-bat by Brett Myers that seemed to drain the energy from the Brewers' 311-pound ace. As the grinding at-bat unfolded, the record crowd of 46,208 engulfed Sabathia in a tsunami of sound. It recalled the Roman Coliseum roar in Veterans Stadium that contributed to four consecutive second-inning walks and an early exit by righthander Burt Hooton. Myers will be pleased to know that the sound reached 747 jet-takeoff decibels during a similar walk in that infamous game drawn by Phillies righthander Larry Christenson.

Just wondering, were they giving any lip in that first inning?
