Chris Berman, 1988 Opening Day ESPN Highlights, Video
April 6th, 2009 | by Ethan Jaynes |Chris Berman, 1988 Opening Day ESPN Highlights, Video. I did not live in Beverly Hills, so I did not have ESPN till 1993 ( I was 13 ). This video is new to me, but it feels oddly familiar. All my heroes, from the baseball cards I collected, are present. You can hear the now infamous “Back! Back! Back! Back! Back! Back! Back! Back!” Chris Berman home run call, a few times. You hear a few Chris Bermanisms and nicknames. 20 years later, the comb-over and the Bermanisms have gotten a little old, but this video is still vintage awesomeness.
My favorite highlight. Look at Vince Coleman TRUCKING IT at the 5:40 mark. Who steals 100 bases these days? nobody.
