A prize (well not really, but a lot of positive comments on the blog) for the person to come up with their own version of a Sterling home run call that would work with this article from Page Six below... You know that Chris would want to play this one...
FINGER-DIPPING PLAY-BY-PLAY
July 9, 2008 --
YANKEES radio announcer John Sterling is being called out for foul behavior in the stadium's press dining room. "Sterling has made a habit of walking over to the dessert table and dipping his finger into the ice cream barrel," one stadium worker told us, adding that the play-by-play vet has also used the same tablespoon to repeatedly take samples. During the Boston series, "He wandered over to the cake and pie section, broke off a piece of a cake slice, ate it and wiped his grimy hands on the linen tablecloth, leaving the remainder of the slice for someone else to eat - which indeed happened," our spy continued. A rep for WCBS Radio declined to comment, and a team spokesman said the Yankees "know nothing about it."

The Comments are just flying in!!!!, look at all the entries in the contest...i mean WOW!
This is as bad as when Jo said that she objected and the streniously objected the doctors testimony.
It'll be a 2-1 to the right hand...CUUUUT ON AND MISSED...[long silence as Suzyn has dissapeared]...The Yankees serving up some Cookies and Cream tonight, the 2-2 is low, ball 3...and uhh the count now 3 and 2. Now the left hand is up in the on-deck circle, and listen to his crowd! The 3-2 is OUTSIDE BALL 4, AND THE LEFT HAND WILL COME TO THE PLATE WITH A CHANCE TO WIN FOR THE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Suzyn reappears: All they need John is one new spoon and they're back in the W column
[long pause]
Sterling: Thheeeee spoon is HIT WAY BACK IN RIGHT CENTER, A WAY BACK, IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS GONE!!! INTO THE GARBAGE CAN!! HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!
well done brian. i was trying to think of a Sterling classic call like an A Bomb from A Rod that would work with this. And Falk, just go back to doing whatever it is you do.
"Same-spoon Sterling slurping up sweet, sweet samples! Oh, my!!"
