Basketball legend Bill Walton joined the Chicago White Sox commentary booth on Friday night for a game in Anaheim against the Angels, and as with every Walton broadcast, the game was an experience. The 66-year-old wore tie-dye along with broadcast partner Jason Benetti, and delivered an epic home run call on a Mike Trout solo blast in the fifth inning.
“That’s Trout? Swimming upstream! Avoiding all the flies! And sending one ricocheting through the universe. And look at this crowd, raucous as can be. One of the most successful franchises, just packing them in here at the Big A.”
Walton was out of control for much of the game, and reacted to routine plays with unbridled excitement.
Never change, Bill Walton
