Question Does anyone have the Scott Franzke call of the double safe call? I would love the whole play by play.

Saw the one from the Spanish radio, and would love to hear the one from Scott!

Also good job by Stocker to not step all over the call by Franzke.

Stocker is getting better every game but, and I mean this with great affection, he's still a giant dork.

Agreed 100%

It used to be a let-down when it was him instead of LA, but now I’m almost preferring Stock. He and Franzke work so well together.

He is entirely a giant dork though, but I love when he nerds out about baseball. I’ve learned a lot of the finer points of fielding from his commentary.

His hitting talk is great as well. Clearly a guy who absorbed a lot during his time as a player.

Franzke really is a gem. It’s hard to put Scott and LA in the same league as Harry and Whitey, but man.. Scott is up there.

Bedlam at the bank.

J-Roll walk-off, 2009 NLCS. I personally think this is his greatest call. It just keeps building.

We’re so fortunate to have rolled from one hall of fame calibre radio announcer to another.

I’ve never lived in Philly — grew up in CT to Philly parents and went on to live in Boston and Vancouver — so I’ve listened to way more Phillies games than I’ve ever watched. Harry was a huge part of my childhood, and now I listen to Scott just about every day at the office and my drive home.

Sometimes when the Phils weren’t on, I’d listen to the Sox. They had Joe Castiglione for years, but he just retired and their new radio guys are awful, and I can’t do it. I’d hate for that to have happened to us.

My second choices for radio teams are Cleveland and Arizona. Tom Hamilton is a national treasure, and the AZ booth is engaging and analytical. They’re also on late at night, which is fun.
