John Sterling Radio Calls

Mike Francesa plays John Sterling calls from Yanks/Sox 2009 Aug series

[@briandrum1]

You're embarrassed to have him the voice of the Yanks? Who would you rather have...Jerry Remy? Sterling is the man. Any true Yankees fan will agree...

[@luvbft1]

Remy doesn't do play by play. Plus he's on TV. But then again, you're a Yankee fan, so we expect you to be ignorant.

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

I love John sterling, I have listened to actual years of that man talking

[@ringbolt9]

John is the only reason I listen to Yanks games on the radio. Hes like a throwback to a 40s or 50s announcer -- thats a compliment. love how he gets excited, love his voice, and also how he gets a little eccentric sometimes. He HAS clips to play cuz hes a one of a kind with his own style.

[@innervisionscm]

Exactly right, spot on

[@Hopatcong-ri2jn]

what?

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

I saw at Wikipedia that John Sterling was born in 1938. That makes him 79 now, and he still has one helluva set of pipes.

[@johnfister881]

That ball is high, it is far, it is... caught by the shortstop!

[@drycell183]

Lol!!!!!!!!

[@jposadalcs]

I love Sterling. The corny grandfather you never had....he's absolutely great. Go Yankees! Go Sterling!

[@bigredchevytruck]

He's fun to listen to because he's excited! As a life long Yankees fan, I love John Sterling's calls. It's a cheesy but who cares, the guy is excited. What's wrong with that? He's a fan the same as the people in the seats, if I had that job, shit yeah, I'd be that excited too!

[@qdog568]

If John Sterling didn't matter they wouldn't be playing his clips!!! John is the man!!

[@timothymoynihan8063]

I purchased mlb GameDay radio just for Sterling.

[@7sevo7]

Sterling is awesome. His home run calls are classics. El capitan , a bomb, the grandyman can, jorgie juiced one, etc.

[@clover8467]

I am from boston and I want more utube. it's an a bomb from a rod. I love this call. People bashed him but now we all miss it.

[@yankeefan42]

I love sterling, as a Yankees fan it's great to hear his enthusiastic calls

[@bartonpercival2147]

“Oh Gio Urshella is the happiest fella”

[@uDibo615]

Back to Back....and-a Belly to Belly!!!! I was at this game...my first game at the new Stadium...was awesome, now were gonna win it all...LETS GO YANKEES!!!!

[@patrickgray5633]

I met Mark Teixeira in Texas he came back to do a signing & I was talking to him about Sterlings' calls he said we love them. Lol

[@conorobrien5763]

This is one of the best videos on KZbin. Has all the essential John sterling calls.

[@PolinGuira]

JOHN STERLING IS THE BEST

[@bootleg711]

John Sterling is the BEST

[@eronramadanov7758]

As much shit as Mike catches, his sense of humor is somewhat underrated. I love Mike!

[@WuYorkYankees]

One thing about Sterling, he doesn't hesitate to speak up if they Yankees did something stupid and he doesn't hesitate to get excited if the other team makes a great play.

[@SolidHang]

John sterling is great! Funny calls and always passionate. I mean what's better then "back to back mmmm belly to belly!!!". Lol

[@TheUnpluggedWop]

I don't get why people hate him. I would rather have an eccentric and exciting Yankees announcer then some random guy assigned to call the Yankees game for the day and being normal and boring

[@BaddogSports]

+TheUnpluggedWop He's a fucking shitty broadcaster, that's why. He can't see. He misses plays. You don't know what the hell is going on when you listen to him. He's corny as fuck, and an arrogant piece of shit who actually believes, he's part of the team. I can't stand him. He's not exciting at all, he's an unprofessional buffoon! The fucking idiot was calling Evan gattis "Evan Goddis". Suzyn corrected him about 8 times, and he kept saying it wrong. He's fucking GARBAGE!

[@innervisionscm]

It's always angry right wingers who hate him. John loves the game and he makes broadcasts fun, if you don't like him you're just a miserable person

[@ariellelariosa372]

Hey you could have Joe Buck announcing the games instead lol

[@InstantKarma376]

+innervisionscm I'm a liberal and I can't stand Sterling.

[@SarahKayeRen]

This has zero to do with politics.

[@1colony]

Rizzuto, White, Messer, Seaver, Steiner, Sterling. I love them all

[@tallsmile28]

Back to back..a belly to belly!!!! That is hilarious!!!

[@briandrum1]

"Listen up son"? Really? You've been a Yankees fan longer than I've been alive? Really? Sorry, but do I know you? How could possibly know for a fact that you've been a fan longer than I've been alive? Seriously, I'd love to know. Have you ever listened to Sterling call a game? Have you ever heard any of the great radio announcers call a game? They all have their schtick, and if you ask me, Sterling's is one of the best I've heard since I've been following baseball, back 35+ years ago...

[@hoochikooch]

ThUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYankees Win!

[@nancyericson4263]

I don't have any vested interest in the Yankees, but I love to listen to the games on the radio. I'll be so sad when John isn't on any more.

[@mikehammerle928]

Sterling's greatest call was with the Braves, the Rick Camp home run.

[@07041982ify]

sterling is comedy gold

[@Trig242]

I find him entertaining enough....sure he can be a bit of a mook at times....but living in Boston and still being able to pick up 880 AM here...his voice is like my savior on some game nights

[@Scumbare11]

I love when sterling does that aaauh!!! thing. So funny

[@jeffwarren5953]

"Gardy goes Yardy"

[@mig50cc]

Gardner plants one

[@kgk4L96]

John Sterling is awesome. People just want to be critical for the sake of being critical. Sorry that he has fun with it.

[@BigspooksInc]

AN A-BOMB!!! FROM A-ROD!!!!

[@Britishrailer]

I love John Sterling - obvious those that don't like him come from "loser" teams..............

[@SearchEast2069]

he dose mess up calls alot and may say stupid things from time to time but he has a PERFECT broadcasting voice. i dont have a single problem with listening to his home run calls or his calls when the yanks win because he shows emotion and i just cant stand the mono tone brodacasters that half of the league has they put me to sleep.

[@davedta7470]

Hit is high….it is far…it is FOULED BACK!

[@tdshaker]

Sterling was always colorful (colorful?) Some Sterling calls from the past included.. Islander Goal Islander Goal Islander Goal!....and, Bullseye, John Williamson! Sterling goes back a long way But he creates excitement for Yankee fans, true Yankee Fans. Everyone else hates him.

[@InstantKarma376]

I'm a die hard Yankees fan and I loathe John Sterling

[@Steve-vd3nx]

The best way to explain Sterling is he's so bad, he's perfect. I don't want it any other way

[@funnyman613]

John Sterling is great when he isn't completely confused as to whats happening on the air. Also the amount of dead air the broadcast has is embarrassing, as it is on the radio. Thats whats bad about Sterling, his home run calls, passion and excitement over the game IS NOT the problem. His voice is legendary also, all things considered I appreciate him, but its just about time he retires.

[@BamTechVids]

come on.. you gotta love Sterling. homer yes.. but those calls are memorable.

[@kcraven25]

guess what. i am a HUGE rangers fan. I HATE THE YANKEES. i'm sorry it's out of good fun. but i must say, i LOVE this John Sterling guy. he is something else. the energy he brings to his calls is unmatched.

[@druaboy]

I love listening to John Stirling- much prefer listen to him on the radio than watching Kay! Listen to him calling games in Ireland all season long! All they have to do now is to get rid of Suzyn bloody Waldman! She's the bane of that show!

[@VancouverChokers]

@Kdubslugga Harrelson. Ken Harrelson. And yes, he and Sterling tie for worst in baseball behind the mic. Both of them are so bad they're good if you get my drift.

[@luisrojas3173]

Mike is such a Dullard! But this is friggin funny! Susyn kills me tho!

[@AwaisM]

lol BEllllly 2 bellly

[@swingdocta]

the curtis granderson calls are so funny

[@cha25r]

The Grandy man can

[@Doc418]

Sterling drives me nuts at times, but he is great.

[@nyy22592]

Sterling is my fucking hero

[@yankeefan42]

I love Sterling but thats because I am a diehard Yankees fan and love hearing a true homer like John call our games. If I was a Yankee hater I would probably dislike Sterling also.

[@beamerball666]

Holy Crap A.J Burnett pitching good I don't remember when that used to happen

[@HALODESTROYER89]

i like baseball tonight makin fun of john sterling

[@WuYorkYankees]

John Sterling is a God. Harwell can kiss my crumbhole.

[@VancouverChokers]

@b00stinmkii You forgot Starkey. From the 49ers and the guy who called the Cal/Stanford play in 82.

[@cubicleboy]

i hate the yankees but i think sterling is fucking hilarious with his over the top antics.

[@slapshot68]

@SXcore i agree with theeee yankees win thing, it should onli be used in 1st win, big wins, exciting wins, walk off wins, playoff clinching wins, n of course the postseason. not a boring game against an awful team like the orioles

[@beani24329]

@lfmacri that is why Yankee fans listen to the METS broadcast when they play each other

[@dojomania]

I wish Phil Rizzuto were still here.

[@spagandtuna]

Rizzuto, Messer, White. Enough said.

[@MrRusty058]

I'm a Red Sox fan and I think the Sox should make a trade for Sterling,he's the best in the businessPaplebon for Sterling.Even enjoy his home run calls.Johnny Damon with a "johnny rocket",LMAO!

[@GozerTheGozerian]

I'll take John Sterling, Ken Singleton or ANY of those guys over Ryan Ruocco any day. Who thought it was a good idea to have a guy with a lisp calling games?

[@TonyDanza4Lyfe]

How has he never heard sterling before?

[@amarch8]

I was at that game, no one stood up like they describe. How do the Yankees and WCBS continue to allow their broadcasts to become the laughing stock of Sportcenter updates???

[@morrieswigs]

john isnt the best announcer, but he is exciting and knowledgeable

[@WuYorkYankees]

Trust me I can understand how Sterling can be annoying to opposing fans but we love the guy. And JOE BUCK???? Are u kidding me right now?? That kid is horrible I can't stand that he had to call all the Yanks championships. Vin is legendary but he puts me to sleep.

[@bigboscoe]

Sterling is a Yankee legend already!!!

[@fau2014]

sterling is great..non yankee fans jsut dont like him cuz they dont like how he keeps calling all the yankees wins..be jealous your teams not as good as ours

[@dojomania]

The most common Sterling homerun call... This one is HI-I-IGH , this one is FA-A-ArR , this one is CA-UGHT ! How 'bout when he says the-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e- Yanke-e-ees Win !...sounds like he's getting his balls ripped out by a crazed rottweiler.. When's he gonna leave us poor Yankee fans alone?

[@neetrab]

dojomania lol

[@sophisticatedmilk12]

theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yankees win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Rai909]

LOL... an a bomb from a rod, the grandy man can, robinson cano dont you know? ... LMAO

[@ixcuincle]

Sterling is hilarious. Not a fan of Waldman ROGER CLEMENS IS IN GEORGE'S BAWX GOODNESS GRACIOUS

[@thefirmament1616]

[@leoyu7598]

The Firmament see ya

[@nickscardtricks]

hey if you could please upload john sterlings homerun call of russell martin i would greatly appreciate it! i would also sub to u!

[@slapshot68]

@FAITHandLOGIC i hav a better cano call, "el dominiCANO!!" like wen he says "el capitan" wen jeter hits a hr

[@RumbleFish69]

I've always found Mike Francesca to be a bitter and petty dude. He's always looking for something to mock. And, I will concede that he's had a decent broadcast career, but hell never be as beloved as John Sterling.

[@cupcakechagrin]

Sterling is almost as important as DJ

[@TigerDriver66]

@newyorkstoryteller Just amazing that an organization that pulls in so much money a fucking year can't get some decent radio/tv announcers. Sterling, Kay, and Waldman are just atrocious.

[@kgk4L96]

Not.

[@Jherman10001]

It is High it is Far it is..... Fouled down the left field side 0-1

[@bearmassaro]

@PolinGuira uhm...WHAT???

[@cloudywinter6828]

He was better calling Islander Games in the 70's

[@VancouverChokers]

@bearmassaro Agree. You're on the mark Teixeira might be the worst one of those.

[@bearmassaro]

John Sterling's voice is the audio equivelant to a Root Canal...

[@beanthegene]

As an embarassed Yankee fan, I'll say this: The problem with Sterling's obnoxious calls, (and any other announcer who has a home run 'catch phrase') is that looking back through history at all these calls, there's nothing to distinguish one play from another. They're all scripted. When the ball is hit, you know EXACTLY what the announcer is going to say. Radio calls especially should have some magic to them, and this type of 'formula' delivery completely destroys it.

[@mellopurple]

get rid of both of them, how can a team get any player they want but cant pick a decent announcer.

[@travis2x]

great energy. great passion. but mr. sterling's "the yankeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss winnnn" is the most annoying phrase in all of sports. i even tried to like it but it's impossible. honestly, i can't even say it's an opinion that it sucks, it's a fact.

[@FAITHandLOGIC]

I'm an Yankee fan and I can say that Sterling is the most annoying announcer in history. I cannot stand him. Those home run calls are the most obnoxious pieces of air pollution ever! The worst is "Robbie Cano ... doncha know!" God I hate him.

[@Rob...]

this guy is a complete embarrassment to sportscasters

[@JamesR1986]

don't diss Sterling. He's the only decent thing to come out of the Yankees

[@SouthernSkeptic]

Jack Buck, I'm sorry. Joe Buck is worse than Sterling. Vin puts you to sleep? LOL, no wonder you like Sterling. vin knows it's about the game , not him, unlike Sterling.

[@linkmeup4301]

John Sterling is as annoying as they come. How Yankee fans can like this guy is beyond me. I'm not surprised though.

[@StevenTyler324]

If John Sterling can get and keep a job on the radio, let alone the Yankees, I'll get a job in seconds.

[@curtisag24]

Man! I hate that guy. His style of announcing ruins my life, especially when he says "TTTTTHHHHHHEEEEEEEEE YANKEES WIN!"

[@Nowthisispodracing4]

God Sterling is terrible.

[@GialloHorror]

I'm a Yankee fan, and I'm embarrassed as hell to have this TOOL as "The voice of Yankee baseball". Can't wait until he's gone, then when you're listening to the game there will be somebody who can actually tell you what's going on. God, I'd kill to have Arod hit like that again.

[@Rob...]

sterling is the worst broadcaster i ever heard

[@Y2Jin99]

I hate John Sterling with a passion!

[@LiamQuinn7]

He is awful

[@Stevo935]

Most annoying voice in baseball.

[@smoothpants]
