I want to live in John Sterling's world, where Stanton's drive was high, far, and gone, and the game was tied.

:L

I lived in his world for a split second….I thought he crushed it….

His world? Find a local nursing home with dementia patients. Should be a pretty close approximation.

“It is gone...but caught!” Haha. That might be one of the worst calls of all-time.

He has many to choose from, but I rarely ever hear them.......

Yeah. It occurs to me that I haven’t really heard any of his calls in years. Plenty of announcers get fooled by a ball off the bat. You can tell that the fans at the game think it’s gone, too.

But I can’t recall too many announcers who proceed to still call a ball caught short of the warning track as “gone” anyway. That was great stuff.

This one was even worse. Damn Green Monster tricking the poor old man!

"What did I do wrong?" I can't stop laughing.

“A STANTONIAN HOME RUN!!”

Meanwhile the ball is already back in the infield.


It's his schtick to come up with these corny HR calls tailored to the player. The full Stanton HR call is even more excruciating than that.

Hasn't really had a clever one since "Bern baby Bern" Of course, he could probably still see the game he was calling back then.
