Sportscenter Anchors Homerun Calls

Since I'm bored, I decided to compile a tidy list of homerun calls from various Sportscenter anchors that I like, because Sportscenter was actually good back in the day. In no particular order:

Craig Kilborn - "Good wood. Solid spank. Major league crank."

Kenny Mayne - "Your puny ballparks are too small to contain my gargantuan blasts! Bring me the finest meats and cheeses for a clubhouse feast!"

Kenny Mayne - "This land is mine for as far as the ball shall travel!"

Kenny Mayne - "He hit it over some fencing they had set up in the outfield."

Kenny Mayne - (obviously for a players first career HR) "That's his first homerun. The media pressure will be intense for his second."

Keith Olbermann - "It's deep, and I don't think it's playable."

Karl Ravech - "Two words...YARD WORK!"

Steve Berthiaume - "Say hello to my lil friend!"

Anyway, if you're scoring at home (or even if you're by yourself!) I'm pretty much a big Kenny Mayne fan. But anyway, just thought it might be cool to quickly compile this list.

I hated Chris Berman's "back,back,back,back". Very aggravating. On the flip side, I think Dan Patrick's "gone" is simple and effective. I also like one you mentioned, Kenny Mayne's "he hit it over some fencing they had set up in the outfield". Clever.

Kenny Mayne is the best. HUGE fan, and I miss the days when he was on SC. Good post.

Do you remember Jayson Stark taking suggestions for home run calls in his column? I think the winner was "Phoebe Cates is out of the pool!" (If that's too old a reference, see 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High.') Stark tried to talk Jon Miller into using it, but he wouldn't bite. Oh well. But one of these dip$#!+ SportsCenter anchors can take it up!

And by the way, in case no one noticed, I was definitely not putting any Stuart Scott into this. :D
