Mike BoonHOST
I'll never get to another bigger milestone.
Mike BoonHOST
I feel like I almost dropped a Tom Cheek there.
Mike BoonHOST
I'll never hit a bigger home run in my life, Bob.
Mike BoonHOST
But...
39 MINS LATER
Bob McCownGUEST
That seemed to work.
Mike BoonHOST
Seemed to work here.
Mike BoonHOST
So now that we have you back at Telemedia's 1430, of course, Telemedia broadcasts the Blue Jay games, Tom Cheek, Jerry Howarth, the great Scott Ferguson would give you the out-of-town scoreboard.
Mike BoonHOST
Right,
ClaraHOST
Such a legendary broadcast call.
AdrianHOST
That call by Tom Cheek is literally etched into the minds of millions of people.
AdrianHOST
But here is the thing that connects to your point about limits.
ClaraHOST
OK.
John RodenburgHOST
There you go.
John RodenburgHOST
That is the late, great Tom Cheek with the call of Joe Carter's three-run homer off Mitch Wild Thing Williams in the bottom of the ninth inning that gave the Blue Jays an 8-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies and a World Series win in Game 6.
John RodenburgHOST
It's only, and it still is...
John RodenburgHOST
The second time in World Series history that the World Series itself was won on a walk-off home run.
Steve LloydHOST
I wasn't going to say a word.
Steve LloydHOST
I go, yeah, J.R. will take care of this.
Steve LloydHOST
When getting that highlight, and it's nice to have Tom Cheek with the video.
Steve LloydHOST
There you go.
Robyn NewtonCORRESPONDENT
Joe Carter came up next, and with the count 2-2, he hit a three-run home run to win the game and the World Series crown.
Robyn NewtonCORRESPONDENT
That pitch allowed Blue Jays radio announcer Tom Cheek the opportunity to utter his famous quote, Touch them all, Joe, when Joe Carter ended the series.
Robyn NewtonCORRESPONDENT
Carter joined Bill Mazeroski as one of the only two players to win a World Series with a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning of the deciding game.
Robyn NewtonCORRESPONDENT
That was October 23rd, This Day in
ClaraHOST
But what makes that moment immortal, what elevates it from a great sports highlight to a cultural myth, is the radio call.
AdrianHOST
Yes, the legendary Blue Jays broadcaster Tom Cheek.
AdrianHOST
His voice had to cut through the sheer, deafening roar of 50,000 people.
AdrianHOST
He didn't use hyperbole.
ClaraHOST
The visual of Carter jumping is great.
ClaraHOST
But the voice describing the event, capturing the raw, unfiltered human emotion, and the absolute finality of the moment, captures the human imagination far more powerfully.
ClaraHOST
Tom Cheek's specific vocal timber, the slight crack in his voice, is inseparable from the memory.
AdrianHOST
Joe Carter himself said in an interview decades later, I felt the same way Tom felt.
