If you've been listening to Yankee games on radio since 1989 (on WABC and WCBS), you have heard main play-by-play man John Sterling call almost every, if not every game. Most people only know him for his "thaaaa Yankees win" call. Well another one of my favorite aspects of Sterling's play-by-play are his signature home run calls. Here are a few for present and former Yankees, and for certain situations. If you have any more you know of, e-mail'em to me.
| PLAYER/SITUATION | CALL |
|---|---|
| Karim Garcia | "The Karim of the Crop!" |
| Jason Giambi | "The Giambino..." |
| Derek Jeter | "A Jeter Jolt!" |
| Nick Johnson | "Nick the Stick" |
| Tino Martinez | "The Bam-Tino..." |
| Hideki Matsui | "The Sayonara Kid..." "A Thrilla by Godzilla!" "Gone-zilla!" |
| John Olerud | "Johnny O!" |
| Jorge Posada | "Jorgie Juices One" |
| Alex Rodriguez | "An A-Bomb from A-Rod!" |
| Shane Spencer | "Shane Spencer - The Home Run Dispenser" |
| Robin Ventura | "Robin Becomes Batman!" |
| Bernie Williams | "Bernie Goes Boom!/Bern-Baby-Bern!" |
| Back-to-Back HR | "Back-to-Back, and a Belly-to-Belly!" |
