 * Speedy delete as copyvio. Since the point of the list is to quote the home run calls, quoting them in full goes beyond fair use. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:05, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Further comment -- looks like this article has gone through a few different iterations in its history. It's possible there are revisions in the history that could be reverted to.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:10, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Very cool and fun. But an encyclopedia is for facts, not reprinting cool stuff. Wolfview (talk) 05:48, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Why relist this? It looks like an open-and-close case of WP:NN, WP:OR and WP:COPYVIO. Pburka (talk) 16:02, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The first version of this article was more encyclopedic but is still WP:OR and WP:COPYVIO. It was also very similar to this.--NortyNort (Holla) 16:20, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I can't extrapolate any inclusion criteria from reviewing this (i.e., why these home runs and not others); they are not limited to home runs that clinched playoffs or world series, or even to home runs occurring in playoff games, or anything else that might be considered vaguely objective or clear.  Its only apparent purpose&mdash;collecting quotes of sports announcers describing home runs&mdash;is not an encyclopedic one.  postdlf (talk) 20:28, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete aside from COPYVIO problem, notable quotes from sports announcer can actually be included in the game articles. A separate list is not necessary.— Chris! c / t 21:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
