John Sterling is a New York Yankees radio legend, mostly known for his very punny and quirky home run calls based on player names and his “THEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES WIN!” call (known as the Sterling Shake).
But on Wednesday, the spotlight was on Sterling for a gaffe that I’m going to go ahead and say was NOT his fault.
Sterling and longtime radio partner Suzyn Waldman were watching the Yankees play the Seattle Mariners from a monitor since they didn’t travel out West. A replay of an Aaron Judge home run played … and Sterling call it as if it was live.
Oops! He took it in stride though and correctly blamed it on having to watch on a monitor:
IT IS GONE! Unfortunately, it was a replay of the home run, but it was a good replay!
I'm sorry, it's on the monitor. What am I supposed to do? pic.twitter.com/R2lS61Au0o

Waldman nailed it: “This is a great way to do a game, isn’t it?”
