Yankees broadcaster's mic hit by foul ball

Found September 04, 2012 on Awful Announcing: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Robinson Cano
TEAMS: New York Yankees

Via Awful Announcing:

During Monday's Yankees-Rays game, Robinson Cano fouled a ball straight for his own radio booth and Yankees play-by-play man John Sterling. You can hear the amazing sound of the ball whacking Sterling's mic, as Suzyn Waldman steps in and Sterling comes back to life with a baseball in his hand. The accompanying video from MLB.com has the moving pictures as evidence.  Then again, we don't actually see the ball hit the microphone, so maybe it did nail Sterling in the coconut instead. Pa Pinstripe sounds way too clear-headed and coherent throughout the entire episode.

  • If the ball hit John Sterling in the head, it had a hollow metallic sound. Seriously, though, I'm an upset Red Sox fan, but I have always enjoyed listening to John and Suzyn. They are a great team.

Is the Yankees' 'Plan' in danger?

Here's the New York Yankees' problem, and it goes well beyond the threat posed by the run differential-defying Baltimore Orioles and the dollar-defying Tampa Bay Rays. If the Yankees fail to reach the postseason, it could wreck The Plan. The Plan, if you haven't heard, is for the Yankees to reduce their payroll below the $189 million luxury-tax threshold by 2014.

Via Double G Sports  |  September 05, 2012
  Derek Jeter (L) and the Yankees find themselves struggling as the division lead has disappeared. A 10 game lead in the American League East. The wild card not even a thought. A very comfortable cushion. That’s what the New York Yankees had back on July 18. It’s all gone now. The Yankees have gone just 19-25 in their last 44 games, and have lost seven of their last 10. The...

Stop Hating On Robinson Cano, Especially When You Have No Business Opining On His ‘Decision Making’

Via Off The Bench  |  September 04, 2012
Last night, New York Yankees’ all-world second baseman, Robinson Cano, ranged to his left on a Chris Gimenez ground ball in the eighth inning, but stepped awkwardly and failed to snare it. On the play, the eventual winning run scored, and Tampa cut the Yankee lead to one game. Today around noon, I came across an article by John Harper, longtime columnist for the New York Daily...
