Jays' Announcers Prepare To Call Aaron Judge's Historic Home Run
They hope it doesn't happen against their team, but at the same time, there would be a huge thrill for Jays' baseball play-by-play announcers to get to call New York Yankees Aaron Judge's 61st home run at the dome. Even though it's almost certain the Yankee broadcast would be the one that gets replayed most, just having been a part of history would make a difference to the guys who call the balls and strikes from the booth.
“One is the number, one is (that) it ties the American League record, and one is Roger Maris,” [Dan] Shulman said Tuesday afternoon. “Those are the three bits of information. What order they come out in and how I say them, I don’t know. But I want to make sure I get all that in.”

Re: Jays' Announcers Prepare To Call Aaron Judge's Historic Home Run
From Jerry Howarth: “Anything that’s prepared, you can hear that, too. It just becomes too static and too rehearsed.”
Like saying, "The Blue Jays are in flight" during every single game or using the identical lazy "There she goes" homerun call every single time for 35 years? Yeah, there's nothing static about that at all.
