Imagine the Miracle on Ice without Al Michaels asking, “Do you believe in miracles?” Imagine Bobby Thomson’s Shot Heard ’Round the World without Russ Hodges yelling, “The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!”
And imagine your walk-off grand slam in last year’s city softball championship without the Raiders’ play-by-play guy getting worked into a frenzy.
The truth is, you can’t. Which is why we mention Call My Play, a new service that’ll create highlight custom reels from the most glorious moments of your life, online now.
Your pickup game dunk on LeBron: you remember it well. Everyone else: doesn’t. That’s what this is for. You’ll have seasoned veterans like Oakland Raiders announcer Greg Papa adding commentary to your diving grabs, your 102-yard interception returns or maybe that night when you went home with a dozen numbers. (It’s still unclear why that was recorded on video, but never mind.)
The method: you’ll upload footage of your crowning moments, and share a few crucial facts (the tale of your rise to pétanque stardom, that sort of thing). Then, a professional sports broadcaster will give it the aura it deserves with a combination of play-by-play and color that’ll put Costas to shame. After a week or so, you’ll get a link with your new video, which you can email or share directly to Facebook. And finally, your triple-double in last year’s company basketball game will be put in its proper historical context.
Cue “One Shining Moment”...
