    I found your blog ‘The 500 Level’ while search informations about Jays.

    I have a 2 questions for you about internship.

    1. How to be a intern for Blue Jays? Is there any qualificaton or recommended skills?

    - You know someone has relation or information about jays intern please inform.

    The below was not uttered by the late, great Tom Cheek. It was the World Series walk-off off homerun call by Sean McDonough, CBS lead play-by-play guy for that and a few other World Series.

    “Touch ‘em all Joe. You’ll never hit a bigger home run in your life!” - Tom Cheek

    Craig:

    With all due respect, what drugs are you on? That is only one of the most famous calls in Canadian broadcasting history and I have the cassette from Telemedia Broadcasting Systems (Telemedia Sports Network) called Back-to-Back! which was the audio chronicle of the Jays in the 93 season as captured by the calls of Tom and Jerry on the old TBS Radio network.

    McDonough uttered the prepared statement: The winners and STILL world champions, the Toronto Blue Jays. (Which was only slightly better than his - for the first time in history, the world championship banner will fly north of the border - from 1992)

    His exact call was: Well hit ball down the left field line, WAAAAY back and GONE!

    Joe Carter his a three-run homer … the winners and still world champions the Toronto Blue Jays.

    Cheek’s call:
    “A swing and a belt! LEFT FIELD…way back… BLUE JAYS WIN IT!
    The Blue Jays are world series champions! Joe Carter his a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth and the Blue Jays have repeated as world series champions. Touch ‘em all Joe! You’ll never hit a bigger home run in your life.

    Those were the only two world series victories that McDonough called as the ill fated Baseball Network took over the broadcast rights in 1994 and the late (hall of famer) Jack Buck called the 1990-91 world series on CBS television.
