Dewayne Wise gets first John Sterling home run call, Updated, 7/3/12

Update, July 3, 2012, John Sterling's home run tag for Dewayne Wise v Rays, top of 3rd:

• "Now there's a Wise man."

The home run call was slightly delayed because the ball hit one of the cat walks at the Trop and ricocheted around. Yankees lost 7-4. This was Wise's third HR as a Yankee.

• --------------------

Yankee rookie outfielder Dewayne Wise hit his first Yankee home run tonight in the 7th ining of the Phillies-Yankees spring training game and accordingly got his first John Sterling home run tag which was:

• "Dewayne Wise, there's a word to the Wise."

As it turned out Wise hit another home run in the 8th inning. He didn't get a repeat of "word to the Wise," but notation that he hit homers in "back to back innings." Despite Wise's big night both Suzyn and John thought it wasn't likely Wise would make the final roster.
