AMAZING GRACE: NC State AND Wake Forest Marching Band’s came together for a joint performance as a tribute to neighbors in Western NC impacted by Hurricane Helene. @WRAL
Howie Rose’s call last night got me thinking about how cool it would be to have a thread with all the great baseball radio calls. So let’s make one. Add below.
I’ll start: The inimitable Tom Hamilton roaring “Down goes Anderson!” will never, ever get old.
NEW: Fox weather anchor starts crying on live air as a mother describes the final moments of her son's life before he was swept away by flooding from hurricane Helene.
The mother said her son's last words on Earth were him crying out for Jesus.
7-year-old Micah was sitting on the roof of their home in Asheville, North Carolina when he and his grandparents were swept away by the raging flood.
"I'm so proud of my son because, in his last moments, he wasn't screaming for me. He was screaming, 'Jesus, Jesus, save me. Jesus. I hear you. Jesus. I'm calling upon you.'"
"He wanted to be a superhero. And that was his goal in life. And instead, he's my hero. He was the smartest, bravest, hopeful, great friend, great son."
"I couldn't have asked for a better son. And he was so happy up until the very end when he was screaming for Jesus. And in that moment, I think he found joy."
Andy Ibanez. 3-run pinch double off Josh Hader. Wow.
It felt shocking - but so on brand for the Tigers.
They’ve now gotten 8 pinch hits in the last 2 weeks.
The Yankees have 8 all year.
