Broadcaster’s Hilarious Call Highlights Gavin Sheets’ Home Run

San Diego, CA — Fans tuning into the San Diego Padres‘ game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night were treated to a memorable moment when famed broadcaster Eduardo Ortega delivered an exuberant, bilingual call of Gavin Sheets‘ seventh-inning home run.

As Sheets launched a solo shot that extended the Padres’ lead from 7-0 to 8-0, Ortega interrupted his Spanish commentary for an enthusiastic English phrase: “Holy SHEEEETS!” followed by a celebratory chant of “Sheets, Sheets, RA, RA, RA!” This unexpected call quickly went viral, delighting fans across social media platforms.

“Gavin…HOLY SHEETS,” Ortega exclaimed during the live broadcast. His excitement illustrated the passion he brings to each Padres game, especially when calling remarkable plays.

Sheets, who joined the Padres this offseason after being released by the Chicago White Sox, has found a fresh start in San Diego. After being drafted 49th overall in 2017, Sheets stated that his release by the White Sox “fueled me a little bit, to say the least.” The 27-year-old outfielder has risen to the occasion, fulfilling the need to prove himself with his new team.

As of Saturday, Sheets boasted impressive statistics, hitting .316 with an on-base percentage of .357 and a slugging percentage of .526—marking career-highs in all three areas. This was also his second home run of the season, suggesting that fans can expect more noteworthy moments from Sheets in the coming games.

With Edwin Ortega’s infectious enthusiasm and Sheets’ budding talent, it seems a promising season lies ahead for both the player and his growing fanbase. “I’m just trying to make the most of my opportunities,” Sheets said, reflecting on his journey leading up to this moment.

As this thrilling season unfolds, fans can look forward to more exciting calls like Ortega’s, perfectly capturing the joy of a home run—especially one from a player with something to prove.
