John Sterling

John Sterling had plenty of iconic moments to call in the Yankees’ 5-2 victory over the Guardians in Game 5 of the ALCS on Saturday night, and for the final out — which secured their first World Series berth since 2009 — in the 10th inning, the legendary play-by-play broadcaster turned to one of his staples.

“Ballgame over, American League Championship Series over,” Sterling began after Juan Soto caught the final out in right field. “Yankees win. Theeeeeee Yankees win.

BALLGAME OVER! AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES OVER! YANKEES WIN! THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES WIN!

“And the Yankees are going nuts on the field. It’s a group hug, like the end of the ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show.’ It’s a group hug, and they jump up and down. Terrific. Terrific.”
