During a Philadelphia Phillies game against the San Francisco Giants, announcer Ruben Amaro Jr. likened a home run hit by Nick Castellanos to the Titanic disaster, unwittingly referencing it on its 113th anniversary. The event occurred in the fifth inning with the team trailing 6-3. Castellanos hit a solo homer, prompting Amaro's comparison to the significant historical event. His co-announcer Tom McCarthy supported the remark, highlighting the power of Castellanos' swing during the game, illustrating a moment of creativity in sports commentary.
AMARO: Did not hang one to Bryce Harper, but he hung one to Nick Castellanos; and Nick did exactly what you're supposed to do with it especially the way that he's swinging the bat. That is a titanic blast.
Tom McCarthy responded saying, 'No, I think you're right on it!' reinforcing the comparison made by Amaro regarding the impressive home run hit.
