John Sterling called New York Yankees baseball for over 36 years. But, on April 20, 2024, he hung up his microphone for the final time.
Sterling officially retired as lead voice of the New York Yankees, ending one of the great careers in broadcasting history.
From his unique home run calls to his catchphrase, "Yankees Win, DAAAAAAAAAAA Yankees WIN!!" everything Sterling did in the broadcast booth became synonymous with the Bronx Bombers unparalleled success of the late 90s'/early 00's, and inspired a generation of Yankees' fans to boot.
On Saturday, the Yankees honored Sterling with a live press conference followed by an emotional on-field presentation.
Even at 85-years old, Sterling still has the pipes of a master. He will be missed.
On Friday, I spoke with The Athletic's Brendan Kuty, who has known Sterling for 11-years for this week's Fox Sports on the Road. Take a listen to the interview here!
