palesox38 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) I was watching Miracle today and was thinking about the greatest calls of all time. I would have to say that "Do you believe in miracles?" has to be the greatest call of all time. It's so pure and shows so much raw emotion. Another one of my favorites is "I don't believe what I just saw!" when Kirk Gibson hit the game winning home run in the WS. It may not be one of the best but it will remain one of my favorites. What other calls do you think deserve "Greatest of All- Time" status? Edited August 15, 2005 by palesox38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 In that unbelievable half minute, broadcaster Herb Morrison suddenly found himself reporting the biggest story of his life -- and it was almost too much for him. His smooth delivery became a jumble of impressions as the emotions of the unfolding disaster took hold. “It’s burst into flames...get this, Charlie, get this, Charlie... Get out of the way, please, oh, my, this is terrible, oh, my, get out of the way, please! It is burning, burst into flames and is falling on the mooring mast and all the folks we...this is one of the worst catastrophes in the world!...Oh, it’s four or five hundred feet into the sky, it’s a terrific crash ladies and gentlemen...oh, the humanity and all the passengers!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Can't find the quote of the call, but this is the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I still get chills everytime I hear the radio call of Paxson's 3 pointer in the 1993 finals. I kept listening to it the other day withmy Bulls Dynasty DVD. I also like "The Giants win the Pennant!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly8509CWS Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 For me, I think it's either the Al Michaels Miracle call or the one when Gibson comes off the bench and hits the HR to win. If anyone has links to either can you post them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Texsox, I'm guessing that's the Hindenburg explosion. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conspiracy theorists believe he actually re-recorded it back in the studio later. Compare that to the almost emotionless coverage of the second plane hitting the tower.
