How to call Aaron Judge’s historic home run

I am not a broadcaster. I have never spoken into a microphone and I have never looked up to see that bright red ON AIR light. I do, however, watch somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 baseball games a year, and I like to think that that makes me somewhat qualified to speak on the delivery of baseball games to the audience, from the best — Hi, Joe Davis and Dan Shulman — to the worst, as in, everything Alex Rodriguez has ever said about even-run leads.

YES play-by-play man Michael Kay — friend of the blog, or at least, cautious ally — spent some time last week debating on his radio program how he should call Aaron Judge’s 62nd home run of the season.
