CURTIS GRANDERSON: “THE GRANDY-MAN CAN, OH, THE GRANDY-MAN CAN!”

Oh yes, the Grandy-man can. When traded to the Bronx in 2010, Curtis Granderson was coming off a career year in Detroit, launching 30 home runs for the Tigers.

During a four-year stint in pinstripes (2010-2013), Granderson launched 115 homers, including two 40+ home run seasons in 2011 (41) and 2012 (43).

“The Grandy-man” nickname still sticks with many Yankee fans today, as well as many Mets fans who listened to Sterling on WFAN Radio for four years, before Granderson signed a four-year contract to play for the Amazins’ from 2014-2017.

KARIM GARCIA: “THE KARIM OF THE CROP!”

Though a short lived Yankee career in two stints (2002-2003), Karim Garcia played a key part in the Yankees pennant win in 2003 over the Boston Red Sox, when Pedro Martinez came up and in on Garcia in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Fenway Park.

Only launching six career home runs in pinstripes, John Sterling probably didn’t use this call often, however, it was quite clever, and probably had fans laughing in the process.
