The video gives the implication that Blowers made this call while Tuiasosopo was up to bat, but he didn't. He made the prediction before the game began, and he originally said "maybe in the second deck." So in his second time at bat, on a 3-1 fastball, Tui hits his first homer of his career and it "just misses" the second deck. Niehaus was marvelous in this call...man, I miss that guy.
A few days later, Blowers said that in November 2019 a coronavirus would originate, spread to Europe, and then by April the United States would be on lockdown. He also mentioned something about tigers but nobody heard that part.
Matt Tuiasosopo played parts of five seasons in the majors, ending in 2013. He's a lifetime .206 hitter with 12 home runs and 45 RBI's. Today he is the manager of the Rome Braves of the South Atlantic League.
Or that it didn’t reach the 1st deck... 200 level @ Skydome / Roger Centre is not what the ball nearly entered. It hit off the facing of the 100 level above the pullpen.
@@Lymsley Y'all sound stupid rn. Probably the type to watch Babe call his shot and be like "well it was technically slightly left of center field". Just enjoy shit man.
This is arguably my favourite call in all of baseball, and I'm a Jays fan. The genuine joy of the moment and appreciation of those in it, makes me smile every time I hear it.
I CAN SEE THE LIGHT, I BELIEVE YOU MIKE!!!Dave Niehaus was the man in the booth, R.I.P to a legend, I wish they would have footage of the booth when he hit it, just from the goosebumps of this call, there’s no way he didn’t jump to his feet. As a Yankees fan, I’ve always been a low key fan of the Mariners
Also a Yankees fan, also a low key mariners fan. For me it comes from Ichiro. I was too young to see him with the mariners, but loved him as a yankee and went and watched some old highlights and it all sparked from there
Eminem did that to Fred Durst live on TV on some awards show years back. That move was thereafter known as the Fred Durst salute. I'm gonna go look that up now. It was funny.

@@mastick5106 Really puts into perspective the chances of making a call like this on any particular player and nailing it. The dude was so specific that there was almost 0% chance of getting the prediction right at random. He would have to make similar predictions at every game for years in order to even out the odds on whether or not he is a prophet gifted by sports jesus.
Been watching baseball for the better part of 30 years....played it for about 20....and this is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. PS...thank you Dorktown for cracking this egg of knowledge on me.
Man how I miss hearing such excitement like that from announcers. Reminds me of watching the game with my father as Phil Rizuto would call the game.. HOLY COWWWWWW
Tuiasosopo just trottin around the bases, oblivious to the Nostradamian event that had just occurred. Would have loved to see his face the first time he heard of this.
My next announcement would've been: *"Tonight I'm gonna hit both Powerball and Megamillion, and my celebrity crush will call me and confess her love to me."* 🤷🏾♂️
I like to imagine everyone else in the press box, who didn’t know about the prediction, wondering why the Mariners announce crews were absolutely losing their minds over this random homer
Dave is king of course, but I've always felt Rick Rizz deserved some love as well. His voice and phrases aren't nearly as iconic, but he had a solid voice and a lot of enthusiasm. There are so many thoroughly dull announcers and commentators for baseball that hearing some genuine passion is always worth recognizing, I think.
*TH-cam Recommendations:* Want to watch some sports? *Me:* No. *TH-cam Recommendations:* Want to watch some modern day witchcraft or mundane use of superpowers? *Me:* Hell yes!
Mike Blowers- “Hello ma’am, I would like to purchase every scratcher lottery ticket in your store.” Lady at 7-11: “Really? Why?” Mike Blowers- “Just feeling lucky I guess”
We miss you Dave Niehaus, one of the greats RIP.. "Grand Salami time, that ball is belted to DEEP left center field, and that ball will fly away, My oh my!!"
Plot twist: Blowers was given a Baseball Almanac in high school by an old man claiming to be his distant relative that told the game-by-game results all the way up through 2012. When Blowers went to question the man, he had mysteriously disappeared.
Best call ever, the prediction was hilarious but his partner called the shit out of that for the radio crowd. Went from being the douchiest "yeah ok Bill 👌" TV to utter gold.

And he crushed my team in little league playoffs in 1998.
If your numbers are correct, that makes this prediction even more amazing since he wasn't any good of a major league hitter.
Joey Gallo thinks hitting .206 wins a batting title
Those 5 dislikes are from grumpy people who were like, "But the ball didn't reach the second deck, so his prediction was wrong!!!"
