“Whenever I was doing highlights the pressure of trying to think of a catchphrase, and I had bounced this off a friend of mine who lived in North Carolina. She did graphics, she was in the business. And I said, I have an idea for a catchphrase,” Cohn relayed. “When a guy is up at bat and he hits a home run, because you were so great with home run calls, I think I have an idea for a home run call and a catchphrase over a highlight. Whether it’s Mark McGuire, Mike Piazza, Barry Bonds, as soon as they’re on the highlight hit a ball that obviously was going to be a home run, I would say, ‘Mike Piazza: master batter.”
