Postseason baseball has been entertaining, to say the least. The antics have created cinema.
In Game 3 of the ALCS with the Cleveland Guardians leading 3-1 over the New York Yankees in the eighth inning, the lead was gone with two swings of the bat.
A two-run home run from Aaron Judge tied it up at three with Brian Anderson on the call in front of a sold out crowd at Progressive Field on Thursday.
“Judge, line drive, right field, hit well! AND IT IS UP AND OUT! JUDGE HAS HOMERED! THE GAME IS TIED AT THREE! INCREDIBLE! AARON JUDGE, IN THE CLUTCH!” – Brian Anderson on the TBS call for Aaron Judge’s game-tying homer in Game 3 โพ๏ธ๐๐๏ธ #MLB pic.twitter.com/BwJS9ANKUd

Don’t leave yet, we’re not done.
Giancarlo Stanton stepped up to the plate and followed suit with a homer of his own to take the lead, 4-3.
“That ball is hit well, deep center field, way back there! GIANCARLO STANTON! A HOME RUN! JUDGE AND STANTON GO BACK-TO-BACK! AND THE NEW YORK YANKEES HAVE GRABBED THE LEAD! OH MY GOODNESS!” – Brian Andersonโพ๏ธ๐ฃ๐๏ธ #MLB pic.twitter.com/oNTPJ8LP3T https://t.co/9JOO9QvZiO

Anderson’s call was just too good and luckily, we’ll be able to hear more of those.
TNT announced on Tuesday an extension with Anderson who also has NBA and college basketball responsibilities.
The radio calls were just as good with John Sterling on the Yankees side of things. Here he is on the Judge homer:
That ball is gonna be…. GONE!
It’s a JUDGIAN Blast!
