As a broadcaster, you often find yourself saying things that end up coming true. Usually it's the simple things like "look for the runner to steal on this pitch" or "expect a bunt here".
Mike Blowers of the Seattle Mariners broadcast team just outdid us all. In a "pick to click" segment before the game, he said that Matt Tuiasosopo would homer in his second at-bat of the game, on a 3-1 fastball (Tuiasosopo was a 2005 Wisconsin Timber Rattler by the way).
So imagine the surprise of all involved when it actually happened. Don't believe me? Go to this link, and listen to the audio of the prediction, and then of Hall of Famer Dave Niehaus' call of the actual homer. It's unreal.
