John Sterling: Screwing Up Homerun Calls Since 1989
Wednesday, June 03, 2009
I am overjoyed to point everyone to a new website completely devoted to the wonders of Yankee announcer, John Sterling, as well as share this video of a recent Sterling call. Most know about Sterling's catchphrase when Alex Rodriguez hits a homer ("It's an A-Bomb, From A-Rod!"), but apparently Sterling himself forgets when he should and shouldn't use it....
That's just wrong on so many levels. Heck, he should have just turned it into "an H-Bomb from Hideki", and gone completely of the politically correct plank. Too funny.
Oops: John calls an A-bomb... from Hideki (IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS... caught)

Was this from a recent game? Because I swear to [insert deity] that he's done that before, possibly after A-Rod hitting a home run off an opposing Japanese pitcher.
As a Yankees fan, I hate this asshole. He's simply DAMON-IC.
Then there was the time a few years back when the Twins led the Yankees 1-0 in the ALDS. Sterling was interviewing Torii Hunter before Game 2 and closed with "See you Saturday." Only problem: Saturday was Game 4, which was still in the "if necessary" category.
I think I speak for everyone here when we say, "OOPS!!!" I don't think he meant any harm there. It was an honest mistake. He realized it almost right away. He should not be punished at all, just reminded of what he said.
