First, we'll start with the Greg Brown/Steve Blass call from Pedro's walk-off on Saturday night. This one is destined to be ranked right up there with Brown's unforgettable "Freak Show" call in 1997 and "What a way to celebrate the birth of a child!" after Rob Mackowiak's walk-off in 2004.
An for an encore, here's a classic from Alvarez's Vanderbilt days, when he responds to some dork yelling "over-rated" with a 430-foot home run. As an added bonus, the announcer sounds a little like Bob Uecker in Major League. Yes, I've posted this before, but this is a clip I could watch over and over and over again.

God i hate youtube "clips" with still photos. But Blass' 'call'(s) were awesome.
And in the 2nd clip... that was Pedro's 2nd HR of the game? The gentleman whom was chanting "over rated"... so he, um, reasonably concluded that a guy who's already hit one HR in the game he was 'watching' is a scrub? Do you think he was chanting in Pedro's next AB too? "What a scrub! He's only hit 2 HRs so far? He ain't hittin three. O-ver-ra-ted"
He's gonna look great in pinstripes in a few years.
...I like the way you think, Bubbler...
