John Sterling's Home Run Call For Giancarlo Stanton Is Horrendously Bad

What in the fuck is this? I know Yankee fans will probably think this is sour grapes, but this is not sour grapes. As a baseball fan, I was genuinely anticipating what John Sterling was going to come up with for Giancarlo Stanton’s home run call, because we sure as shit are going to hear it quite a bit, and this is what he came up with?

Motherfucker got traded to the Bronx the second week of December. Sterling had, what, almost four months to come up with something good for a player who could easily become one of the most notable players to ever put on pinstripes? The reigning National League MVP who hit damn near 60 bombs last year joins the most historic franchise in professional sports, and we’re going with some shit in Italian for a player that’s African-American, Irish, and Puerto Rican. Wild move.

Apparently it’s supposed to mean, “Giancarlo, you can’t be stopped,” but the internet was very, very confused yesterday, as multiple attempts to translate that phrase did not come back with his intended home run call in English. Although, I can easily see this becoming something like the Marlins home run statue where it’s so bad that it’s good. Yankee fans will put this on a t-shirt, nobody will know what it actually means, but yay for Giancarlo Stanton home runs. Never change, Sterling. Never change.
