00:00If you're a baseball fan, especially a Yankees fan, you probably know the name John Sterling.
00:10He's called Yankees games for years.
00:13He looks to be about 117.
00:15Roughly.
00:16Roughly, roughly around there.
00:18But he got a little too close to the action when he got hit by a foul ball.
00:24Didn't see it coming.
00:25He did not.
00:26This is how it played out here.
00:28Now the 3-2 swung on.
00:31A pop foul back here.
00:33Ow!
00:34Ow!
00:35Ow!
00:37It really hit me.
00:38I didn't know it was coming back that far.
00:40So once again, it'll be a 3-2.
00:43And Holmes ready to deal.
00:46A ground ball to third.
00:48Donaldson squares.
00:49Throws to first.
00:50In time.
00:51Ball game over.
00:52Yankees win.
00:53The Yankees win.
00:59He's 117, right?
01:00He's 117.
01:01Dave, if we're still broadcasting at that age and you start doing that.
01:06Dave and Jack the Free!
01:09Oh, what's up, guys?
01:12I took a crap today.
01:18Oh, my Seattle comes acting up again.
01:23I'm going to say wrap it up.
01:25Oh, man.
01:26We're done.
01:27Yeah.
01:28Well, if any of us do like a walk-a-walk-a-walk-a thing out of nowhere, we got problems.
01:34A lot of problems.
01:35But I'm like, this guy learned how to broadcast from someone from 1935.
01:42Now the 3-2 swung on.
01:45A pop foul.
01:46Look out, dude.
01:47Oh!
01:48He didn't see it at all.
01:52It really hit me.
01:53I didn't know it was coming back that far.
01:56And I don't know how it happened.
01:58Like, it sure looked like a line drive.
02:01Like foul ball, like coming straight at him.
02:04But he looked straight up in the air.
02:05Like, he must have lost it.
02:06He lost it, yeah.
02:07Yeah.
02:07And then it just.
02:09The only thing that saved him, though, it hit something before it got him.
02:13Yeah.
02:14It slowed it down.
02:14Yeah, otherwise he would have been.
02:15Otherwise.
02:16Sterling Cam would have been.
02:18Yeah.
02:19I love that there's this Sterling Cam.
02:22Wag-a-wag-a-wag-a-walk-a.
02:27Yeah, when he gets real into it there.
02:30It's just like a typical old man kind of excitement.
02:32When the Yankees win.
02:38And I mean, he's probably been doing that for a hundred years.
02:42Absolutely.
02:43Absolutely.
02:44Oh, that's great.
02:451955 Yankees, they were doing that.
02:47He's okay.
02:48Yeah, good.
02:48I'm glad he's okay.
02:50But his typical old guy reaction to, ow!
02:52It hit me!
02:53Ow!
02:54God damn it!
02:55Ow!
02:55Ow!
02:56My God!
02:58Struck by a baseball!
02:59But professional.
03:01And they don't make them like that anymore.
03:02That's a professional broadcast.
03:04Yeah, that's right.
03:04Yes, I was wooed!
03:09Sterling, do you remember your name?
03:11Huh?
03:11Sterling.
03:12What?
03:13You're on the air.
03:13I'm becoming Harry Caray.
03:16What is happening?
03:18Oh, my God!
03:19A foul ball came and struck me.
03:24About cold.
03:25Yeah, if we act like that.
03:26Where am I?
03:27Pull the plug.
03:28Yeah.
03:31Time to check the room!
03:33I've checked the room!
03:36It's June!
03:40Nope.
