Anthony Volpe’s Yankees debut was highly anticipated. But once that happened, the world moved onto the next milestone for the star rookie shortstop: His first big-league home run … and his first John Sterling home run call.
Volpe went yard Friday night against the Twins at Yankee Stadium. And Sterling, the longtime radio voice of the Bombers, did not disappoint.

Volpe’s dinger led off the bottom of the first inning for the Yankees and gave them a 1-0 lead a night after they were demolished, 11-2, by Minnesota in the series opener.
