This event tracks specific words and phrases that official broadcast commentators (play-by-play, color commentators, rules analysts, or sideline reporters) may say during the Toronto vs Boston professional baseball game scheduled for July 24, 2026. Resolution is based on the national broadcast, or the home team's local broadcast if not nationally televised.
Resolution is determined by monitoring official broadcast commentary from the first pitch through the conclusion of the game, including extra innings if applicable. Commentary ends following the umpire's decision on any final play review. The exact phrase or word must be used, including plural or possessive forms, though grammatical/tense inflections are not required. Commentary from commercials is excluded, but promotional content within the broadcast counts. Only commentary from official broadcast team members (play-by-play, color commentators, rules analysts, and sideline reporters) qualifies; commentary from players, coaches, umpires, guests, or halftime reporters does not count. Resolution uses video as the primary source, with official transcripts as backup if consensus cannot be reached. If the game is postponed and rescheduled within 14 calendar days with announcement by the end of the following day, markets remain open. If the event is cancelled or fails to qualify, the "Event does not qualify" market resolves to Yes and all other markets resolve to No.
