"While stuck in the car with John Sterling on Saturday, listening to one of his lectures about baseball, it struck me: If he knows so much about baseball, why, for the last 25 years, has he not waited for the umpire’s home-run signal before calling it a home run?
And with 40 years of radio play-by-play experience, he always pooh-poohed fundamentals.
On Saturday, his 'At the end of 6 ½, 4-3, Yanks' — a standard Sterling cut-away — doesn’t cut it for radio. Audiences can’t see whom the Yankees are playing."
1) You weren't "stuck in your car." You were at home with the radio on listening intently to your favorite radio announcer. You don't need to make excuses. You love it and we love you for loving it.
2) You knew the whole time who the Yankees were playing.
