People everywhere were crushed after finding out about the tragic death of Michael K. Williams.
He’d touched so many people in so many places with his iconic acting performances through the years. And though his impact was wide-ranging, he’d probably left his biggest imprint on the city of Baltimore.
His performance in The Wire as Omar Little is one of the most iconic performances you’ll ever see on television. So, of course, folks from Baltimore will have a bit more of a connection to Williams than most others.
That’s why it was so perfect when Orioles announcer Kevin Brown paid tribute to Williams by using one of his most iconic lines from the show.
Kevin Hays hit a home run on Tuesday night against the Royals and as the ball was going over the wall, Brown said “If you come at the king, you best not miss.”
“You come at the king, you best not miss.” 🗣

For those who haven’t seen The Wire, that’s one of the most iconic lines from Williams’ performance as Omar. It’s an incredible scene with an incredible line from an incredible actor.
What a call from Brown. This is a dope tribute.
