Adeiny? Oh baby! (Just a thought, John.)
This is absolutely remarkable. John Sterling did not have a HR call prepared for Adeiny Hechavarria. This is the first time a I’ve ever been disappointed by Pa Pinstripe. pic.twitter.com/QYUQOuL0AF
John Sterling, the legendary voice of the Yankees radio broadcast, is famously known for having a home run call on deck for every Yankees player — except he didn’t have one for new shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria.
Hechavarria smacked his first longball in pinstripes in the ninth inning in the 5-1 win against the Athletics, but surprisingly, Sterling didn’t have much to say.
