We are saddened by the passing of former New York Yankees broadcaster John Sterling.
Through his unique style and passionate play-by-play calls, Sterling endeared himself to generations of players and fans as radio voice of the Yankees from 1989 to 2024.
His signature punctuation of Yankees victories included calling the final out of five World Series championships.
Sterling’s seven-decade broadcasting career also included stints with the Atlanta Braves and Hawks, the New York Nets and Islanders, and the Baltimore Bullets.
He was 87 years old.
