Here’s the final out, called by Scott Franzke. I have no idea what is up with the images here, but it’s pretty hilarious.

Rocktober comes crashing down. BEAT LA.

Here’s a great find by Chris over at the Phillies blog, Long Drive — towards the end of a Phillies broadcasting roundtable discussion for Phillies.com, the sextet of Harry Kalas, SARGE!, Tom McCarthy, Scott Franzke, Larry Andersen, and Chris Wheeler break into an impromptu rendition of the famed “Wheeler Dance”.

Since the actual video is almost 5 minutes in length, I’ve gone ahead and clipped the necessary 7 seconds and shot the .gif with it.

You’re welcome:

Poor Wheels seems so embarrassed by all the attention his most glorious of unselfish acts is getting.  I say embrace it, Chris.  Because when it’s all said and done, this’ll probably go down as your crowning achievement.

By the way, if you enjoy your Phillies broadcasting team as much as I do, and would like to publicly display your fondness for these six gentlemen, I highly recommend ordering your very own ‘Broadcast of Champions’ franchise tee from the Birdland x The Fightins shop.  Otherwise, I’ll just assume you hate these guys and would rather listen to Joe Buck and Tim McCarver again.
