Im not a big John Sterling fan myself, he was better when he first started with the Yankees, now I think his ego has gotten in the way a bit. If you really listen to Sterling I will say this though: He is complimentary to the other teams players, and will go out of his way to talk how great Ortiz and Manny are as hitters, for example. Ive heard worse homers then Sterling IMO, ever listen to a Cubs broadcast???
Honestly, and again Im not saying its a problem, if you arent a Yankees fan (Buck and McCarver arent) why wouldnt you want the Red Sox to win??? For Fox, its a much better story having Boston in the World Series, with 1918, the supposed curse, the fact that Fox portrays Red Sox fans as the only fans that suffered in their whole life, (like no other sports fans suffer more) and whatnot. Do we need to see 3-5 Boston Red Sox fans reactions before virtually EVERY pitch??? I agree they have been waiting a LOOOONG time, but to me its a little bit of an overkill.
