After my earlier post about John Sterling’s player specific home run puns, I decided to try my hand at home-run-call-pun-writing. So without further ado, some home run calls for the 2009 New York Mets (P.S. Writing this was way more fun than I care to admit…):
“Waaaaaay back…A blue plate special for the Sheff!”
“The Wright-ing’s on the wall…it’s GONE!!!”
“Make a Wright at the intersection of High and Deep….it’s out of here!”
“DING….DONG….DELGADO!!!”
“Hitting home runs? Omir walk in the park for Santos!!!”
“Carlos Belts-it out!”
“A long fly ball…Murphy’s law: if it CAN go out, it WILL go out!!!”
“Deep to right…he’ll Reyes you to home plate, it’s out of here!”
“Ramon Castro at the plate…oh, and he hits it a ton…it’s gone…another home run for The Dictator!”
“There goes Cas-ti-llo, watch it as it goes!” (Sung to the tune of “My Hero” by the Foo Fighters)

“The Separation of Church and Plate!”
wow, thats perfect.
For Delgado or Beltran: “Carlos has hit it far-los!”
“Sheff’s got the recipe for runs, as he serves up a hot one from the dish!” (although this might induce snickers because it is vaguely diarrhea-ish)
For Fernando Martinez (home games only): “Mamma Mia! Fernando’s hit one out and they’re dancing in Queens!” (I think there was an Abba song called “Fernando” – this is a major stretch)
3-2-1 LIFTOFF! David’s got THE WRIGHT STUFF!
Oh-Oh-EE-Oh, The Wright Stuff
(sung to The Right Stuff by New Kids on the Block, or the Weird Al Oreo themed parody, The White Stuff)
“Brown hits it E-mil(e)!” I know, I can’t believe Emil Brown is on the Mets roster either, and he sure as heck won’t hit a home run, but still. Great puns, Nerd York City!
“David Wright hits a homer!” Get it? Homer=home run.
