Not a fan of his work, but it was a nice welcome addition to the game. M's...if you put that in, my hat is off to you.

Well, it's not so much that I put it in. It's more like, I didn't take it out.
After some brief discussion somewhere on these boards, we decided to take out a few of the more over-the-top, esoteric home run calls (including Dave Niehaus's "rye bread and mustard" line, a personal favorite of mine).
John Stirling's call got to stay in, because (a) it's pretty generic, at least in written form, and (b) I live on the other side of the country from where he works, and I've never heard him call a game.
You can put your hat back on now.
