Michael Kay: "Nothing Short Of Brilliant........."

The

I found nothing wrong with Bill White's call on Bucky Dent's HR....in fact, I thought it was rather exciting.




To say the least, at least we weren't subjected to Michael Kay's lame scratchy voice➡"see ya"....."see ya".

This guy Kay, who has somehow wormed his way into a peachy high profile job, (Yankee TV announcer) wouldn't/couldn't get the job years ago once they heard one of his sound room voice tests...focusing on how "thrilling" and/or easy on the ears his demonstrative "excited" calls sound like...and Kay is in the category with includes running your finger nails on a blackboard.


I thought Bill White was terrific...and I miss him being with the Yankee crew.

 

"Deep to left, Yastremski is not gonna get it" Really Bill? what gave it away? perhaps the 37 foot high wall & the fact that Yaz was only 5'11.

And I was a big Bill White fan, but unless Yaz had a vertical leap of 30+ feet the flight of that ball made it pretty clear that at the very least it was going to hit way high up the wall.

 

first of all how the hell does kay have this job. even more how the hell does he have that wife?

 

Indeed, Dent had only 4 HR's on the Year, prior to His 5th Game Winner in Fenway, I know I sure as hell did NOT ever expect Bucky to hit a HR in any game....let alone in such a memorable 1 game playoff decisive game...

 

...Dent also choked up on the bat as much as any player I ever saw.

...there's also a bit of irony involving the pitcher Bucky hit that HR off of.

 

I understand what you guys are saying but just the part where he says "Yastremski's......not gonna get it" when it was obvious to everyone that the ball was going to to hit AT LEAST high off the wall.

 

59, I'll bite, whats the Irony of Dent hitting his HR off of Torrez, or rather Torrez himself??????

I got ya' now Rick, your right, the HR Bucky hit, did not look at all like it had the trajectory to clear the Wall, ......I recall the moment, thinking it was going to be high off the wall myself, without White's input.........

 

...Torrez pitched for the Yanx the year before (1977) and got 2 victories in the WS...and was on the mound and caught the final out of the Series clincher. (a bunt pop up by Lee Lacy).

...so essentially, he's a hero for the Yanx one year and the next year he's the goat for the Sox.

 

ah, Thanks, I appreciate that much, (I hate to admit my Memory is not what it once was, but then what is or was).......

 

Late at night, after a long day.....I read this once again over. Tired; seeing more cross eyed, with the Zoom On.......I could of sworn I had mis-read this post, on the 1st view, as I could of swore it said, Leslie Nielsen instead of Linsey Nelson.

I literally had a WTF moment, long enough to realize it is too late, to try and read straight, when everything is otherwise.......

 

Aha, it WAS Yaz, who Air Jordan learned to leap from, now I know......
