  3. Holy shit something serious must have happened to retire mid season like this. Hope he’s OK

  4. (cont): It’s all to my benefit, and I leave very, very happy. I look forward to seeing everyone again on Saturday.”

  6. Thank you John for all the memories you have given us over your many years. To a lot of us, you are the voice of the Yankees.

    Enjoy retirement

  7. He was on the radio now and said he’s just ready to live his life so good for him

  8. He’s been the voice of the Yankees almost my entire life, and he’s really the only one I associate besides Kay and Suzyn. Sad day for Yankee fans everywhere.

  9. I hope he is all right, seen too many men retire and pass away before they get to enjoy it. Not a Yankee fan, but John Sterling was fun to listen to when my options were limited while travelling.

  12. I’m 32 years old and my summers were filled with days at the community pool with my dads radio on.. I’ve heard this man’s voice more than some family members. It’ll never be the same.

  14. Biggest Yankee fan in the world. No one wants the Yanks to win more than John. Thankful so many Yankees memories have his voice to them.
    I can tell immediately whether the Yankees are winning or losing just by the tone in his voice lol.

  15. I wish he had a full season of Juan Soto. The guy was electric from that 1st series.

  16. So he’s going to be at the stadium and part of a ceremony on Saturday and by all accounts he’s retiring because he wants to… not because of any health concerns. If that is the case, give him an open-ended invite to come back and call a game whenever the fuck he feels like it. It would be such a nice fucking treat if he were to just show up in the booth this post season if the Yanks make a run

  18. I feel like my actual heart has been ripped out of my chest. I was kind of hoping he would…idk not retire and live forever because idk how to imagine the Yankees without him.

  19. Best memory is during the 96 World Series, my father muting the TV and putting on WABC and listening to Sterling and Kay announce the game on a battery operated radio because we couldn’t get a signal on the stereo.

  20. All I ask is he comes back for one more game, even if it’s a September throwaway. 

    Thank you John for creating all of our childhoods

  21. Well Suzyn, that’s broadcasting.

    I’m going to cry in the cabin. Anyone wanna join?

  22. My wife’s late grandfather used to sit on his boat on the Hudson River and listen to John call Yankee games, sipping cheap beer out of an old metal cooler.

    He never even untied the lines.
    He just enjoyed being on the boat with the sound of the water lapping at its sides and listening to baseball.

    One of my best memories is the day I asked if I could join him. We untied, and pulled out of the little marina, motored a little way up the Hudson, found a cove, dropped anchor and shared a couple of beers and a couple of innings.

    🍻 Here’s to you John Sterling.
    🍻 And to you too Sarge.
