In praise of Gary Thorne's zany Mark Trumbo home run call Tuesday

Orioles slugger Mark Trumbo has eight home runs this season. Mid-Atlantic Sports Network play-by-play announcer Gary Thorne has called four of them. Here are the transcripts of his first three:

April 11, against Boston Red Sox: "Trumbo gets it in the air, right-center field. He got a lot of that one. Back near the bullpen, and goodbye! Home run! What a shot. That is 400-plus as Trumbo delivers a homer."

April 12, against Red Sox: "Trumbo got it. Way back, left field. He drove it, and goodbye! Home run! Off the top of the billboard sign at the back of the Green Monster seats and out onto Lansdowne Street.
