Relive the magic of Bryce Harper’s home win in Game 5 of NLCS with radio calls that are pricking in the moment.
Bryce Harper is working on getting a key to Philadelphia the way he’s going through the playoffs.
He was the champion of Sunday’s decisive fifth NLCS game against Padres with the eighth green light in the second half at home.
Joe Davis’ call on FS1 was enormous and there were multiple angles to enjoy. But it gets better with some radio calls.
Bryce Harper’s home run radio call makes it even sweeter
Here’s how Scott Franzke called the radio host on Homer’s Veles:
You heard it in English, now try the call again in Spanish via Oscar Budejen:
But wait! there is more. The Spanish TV broadcast from Fox Deportes is also worth listening to.
The city of Philadelphia may have believed in its team, but it’s hard to imagine anyone who saw their World Championship trip coming before this season.
It was only mountain climbing to enter the playoffs. Once inside, the Phyllis were careful not to miss their chance. They brought down the Cardinals in the Wild Card and upset the Braves in the NLDS before facing the Padres in the NLCS. Along the way, they only lost two matches.
With five home runs each for Harper and post-season sweetheart Rhys Hoskins, Philadelphia has outlasted everyone they’ve encountered so far. They need to do it just four times to claim their first world championship since 2008.
Harper and his teammates will celebrate their trip to the World Championships while they wait for the Astros and Yankees to finish their series. The ALCS could finish as early as Sunday night with Houston leading 3-0 to go into Game 4. However, a rain delay in New York could put this series off schedule.
