Hatin' on John Sterling

New York Post columnist Phil Mushnick sums up his opinion of Yanks play-by-play man John Sterling: "John Sterling, 'The Voice of the New York Yankees,' is not merely a self-promoting clown, he's a dishonest self-promoting clown."

Mushnick was a little upset this weekend after hearing what he said was Sterling's inaccurate call of a "great" catch by Melky Cabrera.

I totally agree with Mushnick's comments about John Sterling. I'm a Red Sox fan, but grew up in New York tolerating the Yankees (was a Giants fan as a kid). But hearing John Sterling do Yanks broadcasts has (a) made me dislike the Yankees more because they've hired him, and (b) made me nostalgic for Mel Allen and Red Barber, who were Yankees announcers that could call a game correctly, and wound up in the Hall of Fame.

As a diehard Yankees fan, there is no more obnoxious broadcaster than John Sterling. Send him back to Atlanta on a rail.
