Tarzan's Victory Cry against Redsocks Comes up Short

You'd have thought that a Mariano strikeout with the bases loaded, at home against Boston, would have brought John Sterling to at least a 7-second-long win-warble Saturday.

Didn't happen.

He nailed a solid 6.76... which puts it in the upper tier of Yankee win-croaks.

But it's not the 7.25 second call blast that John unfurled when the Giambino hit his rare, every-other-season walkoff.

Listen for yourself.

At first, John seems ready to go for a record. Then something happens. He runs out of gas. He just... can't... do it.

Is he getting old?
