Jamey, you got me thinking about great calls from sporting events. And maybe I’m mixing metaphors or mixing drinks or something, but could you imagine Howard calling the game after Freeman’s home run? “ Down go the Yankees! down go the Yankees!” Or Al? “ Do you believe in miracles?” It would seem baseball is so universal, it lends itself to the great call from other sports as well.
Jamey, do you have any insight into why there is no DVD / Blu-ray of the 2023 World Series available? It really grinds my gears that Rangers fans who didn't record the games themselves have no way of re-watching them now. Seeing that Apple TV is already shooting a documentary of this year's World Series makes it even harder to swallow. Yeah, I get it, the Rangers and D'Backs don't have national fan bases, but it's really frustrating that we can't even just get a no-frills recording of the games.
What a stark difference between Joe Buck's call of the Nelson Cruz 2011 grand slam and Joe Davis's call of Freeman's last night. Buck's was flat and perfunctory. I'm so glad Davis called the Rangers' ALCS and World Series games last year (even if I tuned in to the radio during the games). There are few better at matching the energy of the big games and moments.

It was impossible to not have Corey Seager flashbacks when that ball left Freddie’s bat and I love that

Not sure. Have you tried asking someone with the Rangers?
Yeah, and no response.

Great piece, Jamey.
