It’s not a stretch to say that John Sterling might know Yankees baseball better than anyone alive. The play-by-play radio broadcaster has called over 5,000 games for the Bronx Bombers over the last three-plus decades. There has been no shortage of iconic moments since then.
Sterling was there for Derek Jeter’s flip during the 2001 ALDS against the A’s. Sterling was also there when Alex Rodriguez socked an RBI double to cement a 3-1 World Series lead over the Phillies.
Fast forward to the present day, in Game 6 of the 2022 regular season against the Blue Jays (+100), Giancarlo Stanton rocked a ball into the stratosphere. When that ball eventually fell harmlessly into the glove of Raimel Tapia — Sterling was, still, there.
