No Brasil, o elemento mais importante para um narrador se consolidar é seu grito de “gol!”. É o momento em que ele mais precisa passar emoção ao torcedor. E também é o modo como ele será lembrado pelos torcedores. Por isso, todo grande narrador precisa ter um grito de gol marcante. Seja pela emoção, seja por descobrir algum bordão bem sacado.

No beisebol, o equivalente a isso é o grito de home run. Consultado a ESPN Uncyclopedia, a enciclopédia das informações inúteis do esporte americano, peguei uma lista de gritos de home runs mais marcantes da MLB. E, como não podia deixar essa informação tão inútil apenas comigo, resolvi compartilhá-la com vocês.

Obs.: entre parênteses, os times ou veículo para o qual o narrador trabalha ou trabalhou
