Yankees announcer John Sterling botches another home run call

After Chapman’s hit, Sterling gave a play-by-play, saying, “Stanton goes back on the track on the wall, jump and she’s gone. This is a home game.”

Yankees broadcaster Suzyn Waldman, who was calling the game with Sterling, could be heard saying “no.”

Sterling, meanwhile, still didn’t know what was going on and questioned why the Yankees were “everyone waiting” when Chapman ran off the field.

“Because Stanton caught the ball,” Waldman replied.

Sterling finally understood, but his reaction came a little too late.

“Oh, and Chapman’s coming onto the field,” he said. “Stanton never returned the ball (note: he actually did). Stanton just stole a home run from Chapman. Wow, what a piece by Stanton.”

Just a few weeks earlier, Sterling had another botched moment at the mic when he called out a home run by Stanton that wasn’t one. Toronto left fielder Raimel Tapia made the catch in the warning lane and finished the inning.

Sterling quickly corrected himself when he saw Tapia throw the ball in the air after the catch.

The Yankees continue their streak with the Blue Jays on Tuesday in Toronto.
