And let’s just say that Ray Hudson’s call was more than up to the moment (not that we should be surprised given his quotable history).

Behold it in all its glory:

Among the many highlights:

“Beautiful angle and a beautiful distance. These are the ones you’ll be practicing in Fort Lauderdale Stadium while the moon goes to sleep.”

“He steers this one, it grows big eyeballs on the way to the net...”

“... and it’s as sharp as vinegar!”

“That is class in a glass.”

“An absolute pearler of a curler.”
