That’s in large part thanks to his home run call last night when John Sterling — often referred to as “The Voice of the Yankees” who has called every game since 1989 — starts using his stupid and annoying catchphrase for A-Rod even though it was Hideki Matsui who hit the home run. It’s no big deal though, I’m sure Matsui was PSYCHED to have an A-Bomb attached to his accomplishments. In fact, the Japanese LOVE A-bombs right?

The Slanch Report has started an online petition asking the MLB Network to air the Dock Ellis no-hitter he threw on June 12, 1970 against the San Diego Padres. The moment was a seminal piece of baseball history and is certainly worthy of being rerun.
Please join us in this cause and sign the petition below so we can all share in this special and fantastic moment of baseball history. THANKS!
SIGN THE PETITION HERE! AND PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND PASS THIS ALONG!

nice. 🙂
john sterling had this award on lock since january.
in fact, he’s already favored to win again in 2010, 2011 and 2013. (joe morgan has promised us that 2012 will be “his year”)
Hey, when you call a lot of home runs for a 1st place team, these things happen.
Here’s a fun fact: did you know if you took the total # of HR hit by David Ortiz and David Wright and DOUBLED it, you’d have the same total as just ONE Hideki Matsui! Whatta bargain!
Why is john sterling allowed to continue living.
