Mariners Mike Blowers makes call of the year

(September 30, 2009) With the early start time in Toronto you may have missed an incredible moment Sunday. Mariners broadcaster Mike Blowers not only predicted in the pregame show that Matt Tuiasosopo would hit his first big league homerun that day, he also said it would happen on a 3-1 fastball in Tuiasosopo's second at bat. Guess what?

That is exactly what happened.

Let me take you back a bit. On the pregame show there is a "Picks to Click" segment where the broadcasters and Mike Blowers pick who they think will be the days player of the game.

Sunday things got a little goofy during the segment and Mike made a wild prediction:

Tui's second at bat came in the top of the 5th inning and as you can hear, the Blowers prediction was on the mind of Dave Niehaus:

I cannot tell you how many times through the years I have sat next to Blowers during a game and he has told me exactly what was about to happen. This however, was unbelievable. And fun too! Truly two of the best calls of the year.
