I watched an ESPN clip of the 9 home run game. The most obnoxious thing was the home run calls. High fly ball to left field. Track. Wall. Bye bye. Awful, IMO.

"Track, wall" sounds like Michael Kay, but he would have ended it with "See Ya".

Maybe that was it then, I dunno, it was forgettable. I may have to check out the new radio announcer for a comparison. John Sterling of course was legendary.

Yeah, I miss Sterling. We'll never get to hear his HR calls for the newest Yankees:

"Goldy, you're Golden!"
"Cody rings the Bell!"

It was probably Kay. He's generally awful.

I'm really torn on Yankee broadcasts. I think David Cone is great, but Kay and O'Neill annoy me.

IMO no one will ever top Mel Allen's "going, going, gone."
