Per the eminently follow-able Jake Nyberg on Twitter, new Twins play-by-play voice Cory Provus doesn't have a trademark home run call, a la John Gordon's "Waaaay back and CAUGHT by the shortstop." Nyberg suggested that Twins fans come up with suggestions using the #CallsforCory hashtag. A capital idea, but one that needn't be limited to that medium and its 140 characters. Herewith are mine, which you may add to in our comments section:
- "Toast points!"
- "You can kiss that one goodbye with tongue!"
- "Jesus, he hit that one f---ing hard. Damn."
- "It all burns in the fire!"
- "This home run brought to you by Golden Corral's new Chocolate Fountain!"
- "Light up a cig, youngsters!"
- "Tickle my ass with a feather!"
- "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
- "Suck. It."
- "We all die alone!"
- "That ball is punished like the captives in my underground sex dungeon!"
- "K-k-k-kenny Geeeeeeeee!"
- "We will see you At The Movies!"
- "Show me on the doll where the home run touched you!"
- "Down goes Frazier!"
- "I'm MTV's Julie Brown!"
- "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!"
- "Is this your homework Larry?"
- "That ball is HGH-ed!"

- "That home run > Tebow"
- "Into the mud, scum queen!"
- "Just like all you stoners out there, that ball is high as hell!"
- "And that ball is...you know what, I'm just never gonna be Vin Scully. I try and try and try, but it's just impossible. It'll never happen. It's not that I'm unsure of my own talent, I think I'm pretty good at what I do, in fact. It's just that he's set such a standard with his body of work that's it's useless to even try. Should have gone to med school like Dad said. Home run."
- "Deep and hard! Deep and hard! Deep and hard!"
- "The Giving Tree still makes me cry!"
- "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"
