Now that the New York Yankees have acquired Detroit Tiger Curtis Granderson, one must wonder how long it will take the excitable radio play-by-play man, John Sterling (“It’s an A-bomb from A-Rod!”), to come up with one of his patented home run calls.
Got any suggestions? Here’s a few from my son:
“It’s a baby grand!”
“It’s a dandy from Grandy!”
“Curtis, ain’t-he-grand-uh-son!”
“It’s a GRAND-erson slam!”

Into the “Grand” Stands “Curtisy” Of Curtis.
Whooooa! Curtis, alert us! Love the “baby grand.” A Heisman for young Reisman.
...as part of the deal, the Yankees smoke Coke.
Your former colleague, peter abraham, periodically ran sterling home run call contests on his blog whenever a new yankee arrived. The best one was one that didn’t make it: “it’s a monica lewinsky for eric hinske!”
Hmm. Wonder how Sterling would handle the Monica reference in describing a blown save.
ed1—for that one you win a copy of “Leaves of Grass” signed by Mariano Rivera!
Sounds like a Whitman Sampler. Speaking of chocolates, did you hear about the cannibal who, on Valentine’s Day, bought his wife a box of Farmers’ Fannies?
