"Jolly Old Saint Nick" sounds like Swisher's anticipated homerun call--NY Times

• UPDATE, 5/20/09, "Swish-a-licious"

Yankee fans have been wondering exactly what audio exclamation point John Sterling would give Nick Swisher's homeruns. Mike Francesa always pays close attention to Sterling's personalized taglines for Yankee homerun hitters and spent time on his Friday WFAN show trying to figure out a good one for Swisher. Tyler Kepner relates John Sterling's radio call in Saturday's Yankee-Royals game involving Swisher in what could be the long awaited audio banner:

• "It was the second blast in three games for Swisher, and
• in the Yankees’ radio booth,

• John Sterling dubbed him Jolly Old St. Nick.

Sterling gets credit for accuracy, because Swisher is nothing if not jolly."... NY Times, 'In no Time, Sabathia Rediscovers his Fastball"
