In 60 years of watching Baseball, I have never seen anything like it. The announcers were doing the game from a section of seats in Center Field. Tom MacCarthy, the regular Phils announcer, was making the call on a home run hit by the opposing team. Having brought his glove, more as a joke, he was making the call and caught the ball.
