John Sterling Is Very Happy That His Goofy Call Blighted Giancarlo Stanton's Dinger
John Sterling’s call for Giancarlo Stanton’s first dinger as a Yankee was goofy and dumb.

The Yankees Aren't Homering, And That Makes John Sterling Sad

Yankees Radio Guy John Sterling Is The Saddest Man Alive
If you haven't already, I urge you to read the John Sterling profile in last Sunday's New York Times.

(Back...

Here's John Sterling and Clyde Frazier Calling A 1989 Hawks-Bulls Game
