Yankees’ Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe cherish their John Sterling home run calls: ‘Outsmarts us’
NY Post
TORONTO — Whenever the Yankees would acquire a new player or call one up from the minors, the conversation on the team bus would often turn to one question.
What will John Sterling’s new home run call be?
“What’s John going to come up with this time?” Aaron Judge said Monday. “What’s he going to use? Will he go last name, first name, how’s he going to do this? He always outsmarts us and comes up with something great that the fans love, we love, as players, listening to it.”
The next player to hit their first home run as a Yankee will not feel the same thrill as Judge or Anthony Volpe did when they first heard Sterling call their home runs, as the longtime Yankees radio play-by-play man retired Monday, effective immediately.
“He was so witty, smart,” Judge said. “John’s a big part of this family and we’re going to miss him.”
Judge has hit plenty of home runs over the years for Sterling to call.
