Gary Thorne vs Gleyber Torres 2019

Gleyber Torres hit 13 homeruns against the Baltimore Orioles . 1 homerun shy of tying Lou Gehrig for most homeruns against a team in a single season. Gary Thorne had to sit through it all.

[@TheGalen62]

Gary Thorne is an absolute treasure. He should be doing every post season game he can. Genuinely on of the best baseball broadcasters EVER.

[@masons6231]

He won't get a lot of playoff games for the Orioles

[@asiaroberson3442]

He does hockey too

[@msu15]

He used to do play-by-play in the playoff games for MLB's international broadcasts(with Rick Sutcliffe). He's far better than Joe Buck for sure.

[@jackal24884]

Thorne called a couple PBA (bowling) tournaments and knocked them out of the park (no pun intended). Watch the 2012 US Open...it's my favorite one to watch with him calling the action

[@msu15]

jackal24884 I'm a competitive bowler and totally agree!

[@Terra8622]

That move by Paul O'Neill was hilarious. And I'm an O's fan. I was an usher at Oriole Park when Betts(?) did the same thing for the Sox in 2017. it was absolute misery lmao. Gary Throne better be in the broadcasting Hall of Fame when he does finally call it quits. If I'm not mistaken he called the game in 1990 Bo Jackson scaled the wall at Memorial Stadium (in Baltimore!) though he wasn't working for the O's then I don't believe. "Spiderman!" was the way he described it. Classic

[@seanmulcahy2897]

Rumor has it that, every night before Gary Thorne goes to sleep he checks under his bed for Gleyber Torres. Gary Thorne is a legend, easily one of the best broadcasters out there.

Love Gary Thorne and as a NYY fan I found this hysterical. Such a great announcer. My favorite was the one to right field in Baltimore where Gary just grunts with frustration. LOL. And to think the Yankees got Torres for Chapman as a rental. Highway Robbery!

[@dickraynes1339]

Gary Thorne's view of Gleyber summed up 2:15

[@davidnetterwald1846]

If I were an Orioles fan and lived in the Baltimore area Gary Thorne would be the only reason at this point that I would even watch that team. Because as bad as the Orioles have been Gary Thorne's announcing is so good that he actually makes watching that team tolerable. I used to feel that way in the late 80's and early 90's when I watched those lousy Yankee teams listening to Phil Rizzuto was like therapy for me. I never would have gotten through those years without him.

Gary was a poet on Gleyber's 13th: You gotta put four fingers up When Torres comes to the plate, Because when he's coming around third it's too late.
