Sterling's HR Call of Stanton's Long Single 10/5/21 in Boston.

[@gordoncomstock1283]

That was more than a single it was a stantonian bullet that nearly went through the green monster wall

you have to appreciate at the end his willingness to admit he was dead wrong on the call, he sounded super sincere

[@Robertsp12345]

yea much appreciation after they both bullshitted about how it hit the top rail and Boone may look to challenge....it hit dead center of the wall. wasn't even close

it's not particularly praiseworthy to admit when you're wrong when you're wrong and a billion people can see you're wrong. Talk about setting the bar low.

i cant believe theres such a large part of the yankees fanbase that hates John sterling. I'm in college, and every summer I work as a lifeguard at this small apartment community pool, and almost every day I spend hours on stand just listening to John and Susan, and i love it. it's awesome. Makes me excited for it to be May again, listening to those ridiculous homerun calls everyday. Ive listened to him for as long as I can remember... personally will be heartbroken when he finally leaves

[@elitehunters732]

I don't mind him getting a call wrong here and there, he's not perfect....but Susan always tries to bail him out with the "I saw what you saw John. There's something wrong with the ball or the wall...not you John"...

[@Pocketbabytweaky]

“What did i do wrong what i see wrong” lmfaoo

[@theeliteyankee7875]

the thing i hate most especially with stanton that he thinks every ball in the air is gone (to a degree respectfully so) but to end up with a single instead of a double because he likes to stare at the ball thinking it’s gone is absurd

[@dsfddsgh]

Maybe this is why announcers usually hang it up by the time they hit 80.

[@KenCarson2]

Watching that live I thought for sure it was gone

[@donaldthomas7070]

Announcers usually learn not to say that "it's out of here" until it really is.

[@dingdong7610]

As long as this ball went, it went up, but ESPN went even further, a long way from Jon Miller and Joe Morgan!

[@SpacedDuck11]

I loved listening to Miller and Morgan. They made the 4 hour Sunday night baseball games between the Red Sox and Yankees awesome if you ask me. Miller's voice is hypnotic.

The only thing better than hearing announcers' call of this play is the Yankee fan, bottom middle portion of the screen at 0:56 doing the Homerun signal. That's the person who's reaction I'd like to see the most.

[@scottmcshannon6821]

the batter must have been listening to the announcer, since he was doing the home run trot.

Best call of arguably the best single Sox game in decades. And I love John Sterling!

[@kaltwies]

When John was at TBS in the 80’s calling Braves games with Skip, Pete and Ernie; I was a child and we listened and watched them everyday. That is probably the greatest broadcast team of all time. I miss those days. John also called Hawks games in Dominique’s day. In my opinion he’s better at basketball, but great at both. Go Bravos! Chop on! We are the Champions, of the world!

If Stanton had run from the beginning he might have been at second base.

No it’s probably a fly out in any other ballpark especially Yankee stadium. It was high enough to get out at Fenway it just died. Did you see how low it hit off the wall compared to how high it peaked?

[@ScottCleve33]

Well that was embarrassing. Not only did they get the call wrong but they were wrong by saying it "hit off the ledge" or "off the top". The ball clearly only hit about 2/3s of the way up the wall. It wasn't even close to a home run. He asked where he went wrong. It was not watching the play. These two failed on multiple levels.

[@susanmenegus3863]

I love Stanton

[@davidwalter2002]

I've never liked Sterling. His attempts at making "signature" calls, like, "An A-bomb from A Rod!" and "The Grandy-man can!" just put me off. Also, while I know it's the Yankees organization demanding unswerving loyalty from their broadcasters, he's the most home town fanboy on the air, rarely calling it like it is if a Yankee blows a play, much less offering analysis on what was done wrong. Again, not completely his fault, and every broadcaster does some sort of rooting for their team. But he just leans into it a bit too much for me. If the front office told him to cluck like a chicken every time a Yankee hit a home run, he wouldn't hesitate to do it.

[@robertgoulet7886]
