Well it's made its way onto the blog. And I have to agree that is classic among many Sterling classics. IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS...caught (a great blog name) saw it too.

I've always thought that John Sterling was treading on thin ice using the word A-Bomb in New York with a loyal Japanese following for Hideki Matsui. But that's never stopped him--John Sterling is so past World War II. I wonder if he'll have a new HR call next time out for A-Rod just to make sure he doesn't make that mistake again. Though "a B-Bomb from B-Tits" doesn't have the same ring.
