The Best Blue Jays Calls in French from TVA Sports
One of the most anticipated events of the Blue Jays’ pre-season schedule is their annual return to Le Belle Province. Baseball is back in Montreal this weekend, and one thing’s for sure – it will be loud at Olympic Stadium.
Two people who know all about bringing the noise to Blue Jays games: Jacques Doucet and Rodger Brulotte, the TVA Sports broadcast team which calls Jays’ games in French.
Doucet and Brulotte are legendary broadcasters, but they’ve risen to prominence across the rest of Canada and around the world thanks to a number of memorable home run calls from Blue Jays games in 2015 and 2016.

You’re probably most familiar with Rodger Brulotte’s “RUSSELL RUSSELL RUSSELL” call, but there are so many more epic calls. Hat tip to Dave Shemie for the videos of most of these calls.
