Radio call of the year
This needs to be said:
Vince Cotroneo's call of Kotsay's inside-the-park homerun was unbelievable. It was as good as it could possibly have been, and the most memorable call since Korach's call of Tejada's homer for the 18th win of the 20-game streak.
If you missed it, listen to the warm up on Friday to hear the call.
Cotroneo's been criticized some this year, but this is definitely a time to praise him.

You're my hero!
I also listened to the call while "trying" to work... and it was unbelievable! Vince has annoyed the heck out of me at times this year, but that call was really amazing. Very exciting moment.

It was a great call,
During Kotsay's homer, I was driving, stopped at a stop light, pumping my fists like a complete idiot and looked over and saw a guy in a truck doing the same thing. October baseball rules. Go A's!

I can probably guess...
and because it wouldn't be Bill King without one:
"HO-LY TOLEDO!"
by Lanway13 on Oct 5, 2006 1:28 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Perfect. Absolutely.
Anyway...what I concluded was that his call would be something like this, but we never would have heard it.
Would have been a Ken Korach inning, no?

Best Cotroneo call I've heard
by Nico on Oct 5, 2006 8:09 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
props to Vince
One of the best this year has to be Korach's call of Street striking out Bonds.
by miguel on Oct 5, 2006 8:12 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
That's my favorite call of the year
KenKo: This is quite a scene. Street taking his time, now climbs to the top, Bonds waiting at the plate, deep in the box, waves the wood a couple of times, an even stance - and the windup. Here's the 1-2 pitch to Bonds... SWUNG ON MISSED! And The A's have BEATEN THE GIANTS!

Excellent
But this was one hell of a call... I made everyone who works for me (30 people) listen to it this monring!!!!!

The play itself...
This is why, though I got my degree in radio-TV broadcast, I'm no longer pursuing the field.

Vince also did an excellent job
So it seems that, whatever his other limitations, he has the ability to rise to the occasion.
And as far as Bill King is concerned, if Bill were still with us, wouldn't that have been Ken's inning? So the question isn't what Bill would have said, but what Ken would have said.

Scully completely botched the call
Having MLB radio allowed me to listen to both.
And, yeah, he was asleep on those homerun calls.

YES
All perfectly described, and certainly the call of the year, kudos to VC.

I had picked up my 11-year-old daughter...
A few moments later she says, "Dad...are you crying?"
"Stop it. You're weirding me out."
