Defending John Sterling

In a effort to be fair and balanced, here’s a link to a blog that, while bemoaning the state of baseball play-by-play, credits John Sterling (and Suzyn Waldman) for not being all-out homers.

Of course, most compliments of Sterling are back-handed at best. For example, before giving Sterling his due, this writer states:

“Sterling has been much-maligned for his silly home run calls and for not always following the action on Yankees games, and for letting his considerable ego loose on most nights.”

Some compliment.
