Juan Soto’s first Yankees home run came with new signature John Sterling call
NY Post
Juan Soto got his official Yankees welcome — a John Sterling home run call.
The Yankees outfielder slugged his first Yankees home run, putting the Bronx Bombers up in the seventh inning in what was a thrilling 5-3 win, when he cranked a shot over the left-field wall off Astros reliever Bryan Abreu.
“Winning the way we’ve been winning these games is incredible,” Soto said.
As Soto crushed the ball and circled the bases, Sterling, the Yankees’ WFAN radio play-by-play man, let out a new call.
“And the pitch hit in the air down the left field line toward the wall — it’s gone. It went over the high wall,” he said. “Juan Soto’s first home run as a Yankee, a fly ball down the left field line.”
Then, Sterling got to the fun part.
