Yankees: The ultimate list of John Sterling’s home run calls

For 31 seasons, and 5,060 consecutive games from April 1989 to July 3, 2019, John Sterling has been the radio voice of the Yankees, and has also been a key contributor in hosting “Yankeeography” (two Emmys) and “Yankees Classics.”

On July 4, 2019, John Sterling took his first game off in 31 seasons to recharge his batteries for the second half of the season, as Ryan Ruocco took over the reins on WFAN Radio with Suzan Waldman for the Yankees road trip to Tampa to close out the first half.

Sterling, at 81 years of age, has been the voice of Yankees baseball for three decades and has called five World Series championship teams (1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2009) in the process.

However, many Yankee fans over the years have become quite enamored with Sterling’s individual home run calls that he has developed for each player, as he has found ways to make fans excited after a longball, and also can make them laugh during the call.

Here is the ultimate list of John Sterling’s best, worst, most charismatic and most humorous homer calls over the years.
