After making news with his Giancarlo Stanton home run call earlier in the season, New York Yankees radio broadcaster John Sterling got a chance to try out the call on a new audience.
After Stanton hit a grand slam in the fourth inning of Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Sterling belted out the call on Boston's WEEI radio station.
"Giancarlo, Non si può stoparlo!" he shouted, using the Italian phrase he's used for Stanton home runs all season. "He hits a home run a line drive in the right field seats. A grand slam!"
The grand slam put the Yankees ahead 6-4.
Is this the best Red Sox team ever?

Sterling and WEEI's Joe Castiglione switched booths for the fourth inning during the game.
The move was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but was pushed back to Thursday as rain caused Tuesday's 1 p.m. start to move to 7 p.m. Suzyn Waldman, who is Jewish, was no longer able for the game with the Yom Kippur holiday beginning at sundown Tuesday.
The Red Sox went down quickly in a 1-2-3 top of the fourth inning, and the Yankees seemed headed for the same fate after making two quick outs. But Andrew McCutchen, Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks all worked walks to force Boston manager Alex Cora to pull starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez out of the game. Heath Hembree entered the game and gave up the home run to Stanton.
