The other morning, Deadspin published a piece titled “John Sterling must be stopped.” Those that read it will know it was basically a rundown of all the Sterling home run calls for all the depth players that have made their way into the lineup in recent weeks. It didn’t really target him in any overtly negative way and wasn’t the hit piece the title made it out to seem but plenty of people reacted to the headline, myself included.
The piece barely surpassed 400 words and many of them weren’t directed at John Sterling, but it did get me thinking about the long-time Yankee broadcaster.
