Dan Dickerson’s call for the Tigers’ Kerry Carpenter to give the green light to HR is electrifying

play

“AND. IT IS. AWAY.”

Those were the words of longtime Detroit Tigers radio play-by-play announcer Dan Dickerson after Kerry Carpenter delivered one of the greatest postseason moments in franchise history.

In a game that seemed destined to end in frustration as the Tigers failed to get on the field despite a masterclass from Tarik Skubal, Kerry Carpenter blasted a three-run, 423-foot home run to right field off Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, the leading reliever of all time baseball.

It was a movie-like scene. Top of the ninth inning. Drawn game. Best thrower on the opposing team. Two hits. Two outs. Hands down home run.

The moment immediately sent Dickerson into hysterics as the ball flew further and further into the right field stands, giving the Tigers a 3-0 lead.

Listen to the must-hear radio call below:

IN THE GAME: Do you think the Tigers’ story can’t get any better? They just proved you wrong. Again.

TBS announcer Brian Anderson has his own great call

On the national broadcast that most fans saw, Brian Anderson also made a memorable call.

After Parker Meadows nearly hit a home run to right field early in the game that appeared to have been knocked over by the wind, Anderson forcefully pointed out that no amount of strong wind would stop Carpenter’s moonshot.

“Pitch is swinging, a high fly ball to right field, this one is going to FLY!” Anderson said.
