Summary
BT and Sal, still hot after ripping into a recent Mets' broadcast call for being "corny" and "pre-meditated," brought on the legendary John Sterling to discuss his most historic home run calls. The fiery duo celebrated Sterling's ability to capture the moment with unscripted passion and unique flair, a stark contrast to the broadcast calls they had just criticized. Sterling's appearance turned into a masterclass on the art of broadcasting, with the iconic voice of the Yankees sharing the stories behind his most memorable and spontaneous home run calls.
