The classic Chicago White Sox home run call shouting put it on the board, used by baseball fans for home runs, wins and big scoring plays online.

This is the exuberant home run call built around the phrase put it on the board, delivered in a rising, celebratory shout that stretches the final word for emphasis. The voice climbs with excitement as the ball leaves the park, turning a simple score update into a triumphant announcement. It lasts just a few seconds, long enough to capture the swing, the crowd reaction window and the payoff. Viewers instantly read it as good news confirmed, which is why the clip feels satisfying even without any game footage underneath it at all.

The phrase became famous as the signature home run call of Chicago White Sox broadcaster Ken Hawk Harrelson, who would stretch out put it on the board followed by an emphatic yes whenever a Sox player cleared the fences. Harrelson called White Sox games for decades before retiring in 2018, and the line became inseparable from his colorful, fan-first style. Clips and imitations spread through baseball highlights, local broadcasts and social media, and fans kept using it for any confirmed score, long after the original telecasts.
