He ripped this one off from Seattle Supersonics play-by-player Kevin Calabro, who has used that one for at least a decade now.
My favorite was an old Portland NW wrestling announcer who, upon a particularly hard slam, would shout “Felt that one in the crow’s nest!”.

I love when Jerry Remy refers to any player’s midsection as “the kitchen.” “Oof! Right in the kitchen!” I also credit Don Orsillo for bringing the phrase “all nuded up” into my vocabulary (referring to a naked dude running around the field).

“He put that top shelf where grandma hides the cookies!”
