ESPN color commentator Chip Baker's favorite word is "ball". That's what I learned from watching Florida State score its most runs since the 37-run outburst in the 2009 regionals against Ohio State, winning 24-1 on Tuesday afternoon. Whether he's talking about a 'ballgame', 'ballpark', 'ball field', 'ball team', or the actual 'baseball' (or 'ball'), Baker executed what is believed to be the highest M.P.H.I. (mentions per half inning) of the word 'ball' since home plate umpire Bill Phelps during a 1987 youth baseball game between Sparta Township and Newton Township.
Here is Baker's day in line score form:
Baker's M.P.H.I. was a staggering 5.1 with 91 total mentions of the word.
