I think this one's cool:

the White Sox announcers calling a home-run: you can put it on the board...... yes!

I also like Chuck Swirsky's call for three-point shot "from downtown (insert town here)"

I saw, I came, I left.

I like the YES guy's simple, yet effective... "SEE YA!"

And I hate Rob Faulds' attempt at a catchphrase "And whatdya think about that?" after every Jays homer.

The YES guy's phrase is effective, but to me, the problem is the person calling it. It lacks something....

You know who I miss calling baseball games? Jim Hughson. Seriously

SportsCenter Altar - This contains every known SportsCenter anchor over the last fifteen years and their catchphrases. Hasn't been updated in a while.

BTW, Duaine Kuiper used to be a pretty good defensive second baseman for the Indians, but why is he stealing Harry Kalas' "Outta Here!" call?

"I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."

Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.

My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

Dave Van Horne marlins radio play-by-play guy:

"That ball is up, up, and away."

(He used to do Expos' games.)

Tommy Hutton Marlins TV analyst on Miguel Cabrera's Ab's sometimes.

"AHHHHHHHHH sweetness."

(He also did Expos' games.)

HOFer Felo Ramirez Marlins' Spanish languagu radio voice:

"SEEEEEEEEEEE llevo la cerca jon ron."

(it took the fence, home run.)

Len Casper Marlins' TV play by play guy:

THE best call in MLB. You guys have probably heard it a couple times on Sportscenter:

*at top of lungs*

"MIKE LOWELL..................DEEP TO LEFT.............OOOOOOUTTA HERE."

(if you hear it once you fall in love with it.)

Dave Van Horne is pretty boring, though. His partner Boog Sciambie is pretty good and exciting to hear. Our TV guys are AWESOME Len and Tommy get along VERY WELL and are very exciting and funny to watch.

I think one of the oddest catchphrase comes from Hot Rod Hundley, broadcaster for the Utah Jazz.

When there's a three point he'll say (may be off a bit), "With a gentle push of the mild arc, the ol' cow hide globe hits home!".

Also you've got, "You gotta love it, baby!", and "Stockton to Malone!".
