John Sterling call of Alex Rodriguez home run #661 and Newsday back page, 5/8/15, Watch out, Babe

5/7/15, Following is John Sterling's call of home run #661 by Alex Rodriguez. Orioles at Yankees, Thursday, May 7, 2015, bottom of the third, score tied 2-2. Final score, 4-3 Yankees. During the broadcast John and Suzyn talked about it being #661, but the record wasn't mentioned within the call which I recorded as it was played back on Yankee radio post game:

"The one-one, swung on and hit in the air to deep left center field, away back goes Jones, in deep left center, that ball is....gone! Alex Rodriguez hit one into the loading dock, just to the left of Monument Park, a long home run. In fact, it's an A-bomb from A-rod! Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez homers and the Yankees take a 3-2 lead."
