John Sterling Retires After 36 Seasons as Yankees Broadcaster
Legendary Voice of the Bronx Ends Era
Decades of Memorable Calls Come to an End
John Sterling, the legendary voice of the New York Yankees, has formally announced his retirement. The 85-year-old broadcaster has spent the past 36 seasons entertaining generations of Yankees fans with his memorable play-by-play calls.
Sterling made the announcement on Monday, bringing an unexpected end to an era in the Bronx. The Yankees have enjoyed a scorching hot start to the season, but Sterling's retirement marks a significant change for the organization and its loyal fanbase.
"I've had the great privilege of broadcasting Yankees games for the past 36 years," Sterling said. "I've witnessed some of the greatest moments in baseball history, and I've had the opportunity to work with some of the most iconic players in the game. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this organization, and I wish the Yankees all the best in the future."
Sterling's retirement will leave a lasting legacy at Yankee Stadium and beyond. His signature catchphrases, such as "Holy cow!" and "Get a hit, get a hit, get a hit!" have become synonymous with Yankees baseball.
In a fitting tribute, the Yankees presented Sterling with a plaque commemorating his illustrious career. The plaque reads: "John Sterling, Voice of the New York Yankees, 1989-2022." It will be displayed prominently at Yankee Stadium.
Sterling plans to enjoy his retirement by watching the Yankees and other sports at home. His absence will be felt in the broadcast booth, but his legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of Yankees fans around the world.
