As the team evolved into its latest dynasty, winning four World Series titles from 1996 through 2000, a Sterling moniker for a player's home run became as treasured a part of a Yankees identity as an initial set of pinstripes and a culminating championship ring. He could be obscure in recent years, using “Giancarlo, non si può de stoparlo! for Stanton and “A spettacolo oggi!” for Anthony Volpe . He added ”He’s Juan-der-ful, marvelous" for Juan Soto this year, singing to the melody of George Gershwin's “'S Wonderful.”
Sterling partnered with Jay Johnstone , Joe Angel , Michael Kay , Charley Steiner and Suzyn Waldman . Sterling and Waldman were inducted into the New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2016.
