John Sterling’s home run call is as recognizable as they come — “That ball is high, it is far, it is GONE!” Giancarlo Stanton’s pinch-hit at-bat in the eighth inning Wednesday night featured a vintage Sterling call, but with a twist.
It is high! It is far! It is gone!!

“That ball is high, it is far, it is GONE! … but caught.”
The Stanton home run wasn’t meant to be. The Yankees would fall short after a 4-for-4 night with three home runs from Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
