Bryan Hoch, reporting for MLB.com:
A colorful personality who engaged and entertained fans with a
distinct conversational style, Sterling called 5,426
regular-season Yankees games and 225 more in the postseason from
1989 until his retirement in 2024. After initially stepping away
from the microphone in April of that year, Sterling returned to
call selected games late in the ’24 season, including each contest
of the World Series.At the time of his initial retirement, Sterling said that he
considered himself to be “a very blessed human being,” noting that
he had lived out a childhood dream of broadcasting on the radio
for more than 64 years.“It’s your medium. You do what you want,” Sterling once said. “You
have to paint the picture, which I love doing.”
That’s baseball, Suzyn.
