As an experiment, the two playoff A-bombs from one A-Rod were merged, running simultaenously. You'd expect chaos -- two files atop each other. And even though John goes off on various tangents -- listen closely, maybe 50 times -- he starts and ends in exactly the same place, the same uncanny, bizarre, incredible timing!
Edward Teller, the father of the atomic bomb, might have reconsidered his life's work, had he'd foreseen this.
NOTE: This is no trick of editing. John starts exactly at the same point, goes into his description, and then -- as if triggered by some cosmic mechanism -- ends at the exact same moment.
Twilight Zone.
*Trot Nixon, of course.

ReplyDeletei just wet myself in the awesomeness that is John Sterling's delivery
Pro athletes are always saying how it comes down to practice and repetition. When they need their body to perform, it just performs; it reacts to the situation and comes through every time.
ReplyDeleteI say fuck that, Sterls has never had to practice a day in his life. He transcends sport, transcends broadcasting, and is undoubtedly the human embodiment of a higher power.
yank fans are apparently stupid. he has made that call more than 200 times and i'm sure by now he has the delivery down. it is high, it is far, it is... caught. sterling sucks.
