John Sterling was not ready for Thairo Estrada’s home run

And Sterling goes silent!

The toughest start to a season in recent Yankees memory has been hard on John Sterling, all these names to remember and home-run calls to create.

One slipped through the cracks.

Infielder Thairo Estrada, playing in his eighth big-league game amid the flood of injuries, stepped up to bat in the second inning of Monday’s game against the Mariners with a runner on first and zero home runs to his name.

A pitch later, he still had zero Sterling home-run calls to his name.

“She’s gone!” came the call as the ball cleared the fence.
