"Fastball hit in the air to left field, that's deep. Back goes Chavez, back near the wall leaping and...HE MADE THE CATCH! HE TOOK A HOME RUN AWAY FROM ROLEN!" -Mets announcer Gary Cohen calling Endy Chavez's amazing catch in the 2006 NLCS against the Cardinals.

Piggybacking off the discussion of favorite calls in wrestling... great moments in sports commentary! What are your favorites? Two of mine came from the same play: Sid Bream sliding in safely to send the Atlanta Braves to the World Series in 1992. Skip Caray on Braves radio and Sean McDonough on CBS provided two great calls from two different perspectives (Caray the unabashed Braves homer, McDonough the national play-by-play man). I've memorized each one verbatim because I've heard them several hundred times. As a Braves fan, I tear up every time I see or hear the Cabrera-Bream play!

For shame nobody has said "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? YES!" As that is the greatest sports moment and greatest call bar none in my mind

"Chris Davis is going to drop back into the end zone in single safety. Well, I guess if this thing comes up short he can field it and run it out. Alright, here we go. 56-yarder, it's got—no, it does not have the leg. And Chris Davis takes it in the back of the end zone. He'll run it out to the 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 45—There goes Davis! Davis is going to run it all the way back! Auburn's going to win the football game! Auburn's going to win the football game! He ran the missed field goal back! He ran it back 109 yards! They're not going to keep them off the field tonight! Holy Cow! Oh, my God! Auburn wins! Auburn has won the Iron Bowl! Auburn has won the Iron Bowl in the most unbelievable fashion you will ever see! I cannot believe it! 34–28! And we thought 'A Miracle in Jordan-Hare' was amazing! Oh, my Lord in Heaven!' Chris Davis just ran it 109 yards and Auburn is going to the championship game!" -Rod Bramblett, Calling the greatest ending in college football history.

"Balotelli....AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I swear you'll never see anything like this again!" Personally I always though his call in the City vs Sunderland match was even better, and I'm a Newcastle fan:

"Fetisov for the Devils plays it cross-ice, into the far corner. Matteau swoops in to intercept. Matteau behind the net, swings it in front, HE SCORES! MATTEAU!! MATTEAU!! MATTEAU!!

That Auburn call in the Iron Bowl 13 was just amazing man. Whenever it comes on I watch it thru. On Facebook whenever a Bammer gets too uppity I post the video or I post "00:01"

Kinda surprised no one posted this one yet: "Bobby Thomson... up there swingin'... He's had two out of three, a single and a double, and Billy Cox is playing him right on the third-base line... One out, last of the ninth... Branca pitches... Bobby Thomson takes a strike called on the inside corner... Bobby hitting at .292... He's had a single and a double and he drove in the Giants' first run with a long fly to center... Brooklyn leads it 4-2...Hartung down the line at third not taking any chances... Lockman with not too big of a lead at second, but he'll be runnin' like the wind if Thomson hits one... Branca throws...There's a long drive... it's gonna be, I believe...THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left-field stands! The Giants win the pennant and they're goin' crazy, they're goin' crazy! HEEEY-OH!!!''
I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I do not believe it! Bobby Thomson... hit a line drive... into the lower deck... of the left-field stands... and this blame place is goin' crazy! The Giants! Horace Stoneham has got a winner! The Giants won it... by a score of 5 to 4... and they're pickin' Bobby Thomson up... and carryin' him off the field!" -Russ Hodges, The Shot Heard Round The World

Personal bias one: "The best team of the modern era have created their masterpiece.. They have never been better than this." Hawthorn wins the 2014 AFL Grand Final after thumping the favourites to win Sydney.
Need to add a Murray Walker(ism): "There is nothing wrong with the car, except it's on fire!"

We understand that Jerry Lawler has bruised ribs and... well uh, with all due respect he's also suffering from ... from Anal Bleeding.

Need to add a Murray Walker(ism): "There is nothing wrong with the car, except it's on fire!" I'm not sure he had many that you would call "the best", but there were certainly plenty of memorable ones. "The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical." "This has been a great season for Nelson Piquet, as he is now known, and always has been." "And the first three cars are all Escorts, which isn't surprising as this is an all Escort race." "Look up there! That's the sky!" "I should imagine that the conditions in the cockpit are unimaginable!" ...and so on.
