Aaron Judge

The litigious-themed nicknames for Aaron Judge are not new, but Sterling was among the first to use it for the current Yankees captain.

The culmination of Sterling's Judge calls came in 2022, when Judge broke the team and American League record with his 62nd home run.

Derek Jeter

Arguably the iconic Yankee during Sterling's career, Derek Jeter provided plenty of great moments for the broadcaster.

The "El Capitan" home run call became Sterling's calling card for the Yankees captain. (Call above begins at 0:00 mark).

Giancarlo Stanton

What did he say?

Sterling's debut of the Giancarlo Stanton home run call created plenty of confusion in 2018.

"Giancarlo, non si può stoparlo," Sterling said on his first attempt, which translates from Italian to "you can not stop it."

Sterling took some liberties with his Italian, but he stuck with the call until the end.

Alex Rodriguez

Another "A-bomb from A-Rod" as Sterling voiced one of Alex Rodriguez's greatest moments in pinstripes.

Robinson Cano

"Don't ya know?"

The Yankees second baseman elicited the Sterling call 204 times in his nine seasons in New York. (Call above begins at 0:53 mark).

Bernie Williams

"Bernie went boom" 22 times in the postseason during his 16-year Yankees career, including this shot in 2001 as Sterling sang "Bern, baby, Bern!"

Tino Martinez

A fan favorite in New York, Tino Martinez's game-tying home run in Game 4 of the 2001 World Series brought Sterling out of his seat in the Bronx as he exclaimed his "Great Bamtino!" call.

Hideki Matsui

The Yankees' 2009 World Series hero is arguably the Yankees' greatest international signing ever, and Hideki Matsui provided plenty of "thrills" for Sterling and fans. (Call above begins at 0:29 mark).

Gleyber Torres

Every home run was "Gleyber Day" for Sterling, thanks to this "Good Gleyber." (Call above begins at the 1:01 mark)

Didi Gregorius

Didi Gregorius was another fan favorite in the Bronx, making fans feel "euphorias" for five seasons.

Mark Teixeira

Sterling certainly got plenty of use of the Mark Teixeira call, as the first baseman hit 206 during his time with Yankees.

Jorge Posada

"Core Four" member Jorge Posada "juiced" 275 home runs in his 17 years in pinstripes. (Call above begins at 4:03 mark).

Gio Urshela

The "Most happy fella!" spent three seasons with the Yankees before being included in the Josh Donaldson trade to the Twins for Gary Sanchez. (Call above starts at the 0:00 mark).

Curtis Granderson

"The Grandy Man can!" is another Sterling tune he would sing, this time after a homer from former outfielder Curtis Granderson.

Austin Romine

Sterling did not hesitate to call the catcher his "Homey" during his Yankees tenure. (Call above begins at the 0:32 mark).

Brett Gardner

Sterling started the "Gardy Party" for the longtime Yankees outfielder. (Call above begins at the 2:35 mark).

Jason Giambi

The burly "Giambino" smacked 209 home runs for the Yankees over seven seasons. (Call above begins at the 3:15 mark).

Shane Spencer

The "Home run dispenser" hit two homers during the 1998 ALDS against the Rangers. He would not hit another postseason jack for the Yankees until the 2001 World Series.
