This is the day I dreaded😢
Dreaded? It is at least fifty years overdue
It's weird, because John wasn't on the other day. My first thought was: 'This is who will replace John?' This was less than a week ago
I agree with you so much!! I have been listening to him since I was a teenager and it would never be the same 🥹😭!! May Jesus always be with you John Sterling!! Thank you for all the great and unforgettable memories you gave so many of us!! No one would ever be able to replace you!! All my Love and prayers to you good sir!!
i have thought about that for years. 😢@@mr198221
I leap with joy--so obnoxious...now let's dump the annoying yenta---suzy
5,420 regular season games. 211 post season games.
7 World Series.
Why isn't John Sterling not in the Baseball Hall Of Fame?
He should.
I hope the Yankees rename the radio booth after John Sterling at Yankee Stadium.
Thank you.
John youre a legend and we’ll miss ya
"Ball game over, WORLD SERIES OVER! YANKEES WIN DAAAA YANKEES WIN!" I'll never forger that call in 1998
Thank you John. End of an era; enjoy your retirement
Thank you for doing that opening day of all his HR calls.. listened to them all on my drive
Yes!!! I have a few on tape from that!
The best. Thank you for all the calls John, you will be greatly missed.
Best? Have you heard of Mel Allen, Red Barber or Vin Scully? Sterling was a no class loudmouth.
@@roncaruso931Everyone isn't an old fart like you. Besides, those you mentioned were boring. Like your classless comment.
The worst,
He can always temporarily unretire to call the Yankees World Series appearance this year.. 🙏
Thank yew John🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for all the memories John. Top 3 best of all calls and you can debate all you want
1.) Bernie’s walk off HR game 1 of 96’ ALCS
2.) Tino’s game tying HR game 4 of 01’ World Series
3.) O’niell’s game ending catch in game 5 of 96’ World Series
Agreed on all the calls. And they were all memorable.
Though Paulie’s Game 5 catch in the ‘96 WS on Polonia’s drive to RF in Atlanta was not game-ending.
But boy, was it powerful!
That was my first WS with our Yankees and so amazing.
John will be missed.
Both sad and happy. Sad I won't hear him anymore, but happy he's happy.
Thanks for everything John. Enjoy your well deserved retirement. You’re a legend.
My first was "Bernie Goes Boom!" From then I was hooked. God Bless You Always. You deserve this and more. Enjoy the rest of your life
Me and John are 2 peas in the same pod. I said the same thing when I retired. I just don’t wanna do it anymore 🤣 I know the life I wanna live, it’s not waking up early and staying up late in the night. 💜 Godspeed John
WHAT A GREAT MAN AND HE HAD THE VOICE OF YANKEE BASEBALL......
It's like and end to an era ...
John Sterling is a class act..
The last of those smooth, polished, educated sports voices. He made things better. Bravo John!
The best! ❤
As a tribute for him all the Yankees fans should do the Yankees win DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES WIINNNN
Thanks for the memories❤
Any of you remember John calling NY Islanders games?
"Islander Goal! Islander Goal!! Islander Goal!!!"
Because of John I would rather listen to games than watch them on TV. Thank you sir! God bless and enjoy your retirement. I wish I could be at The Stadium Saturday
Like that big comfortable chair
86 God Bless You John. Before the Core Four and all those Pennants, it was “The Gutty Gritty Yankees” as John would say as they scratched out a win. He called hockey, basketball and was with Dale Murphy and the Braves broadcast. Give him a shift on the FAN or a special segment if he wants it guys.
I was 16 1/2 years old listening to the game on a small radio with aluminum foil on the end of the antenna. Yankees down by one run, bottom of the ninth. Ricky Henderson walked, and Don Mattingly hit a walk-off home run. First time I heard John Sterling's home run call. I have never stopped listening since, until now.
Thank you, John, for an illustrious career. I hope you have a peaceful retirement. So many of us will miss you dearly.
'It isn't easy being Green, but Nick is having a heck of a night!' & 'A thrilla.....by Godzilla!' Are my standouts!
Mets fan here..i still loved listening to John from time to time. He also did some NJ Nets games back in the 90's and he did an excellent job. Good luck John... ❤
His love for the game and the depth of his knowledge made him stand head and shoulders above every other announcer I hear.
thank you john you have servied many generations i am a yaankees fan formany years
On a hot July night in 1989 I had the game on
in my upstairs bedroom while trying to sleep. The Yankees weren't good. It was stifling(no AC). I was 17 years old and really
down in the dumps. All kinds of teen troubles were ratting around my brain. Then Sterling called a three run come from behind game winning( we didn't call them walk offs back then) blast by Jessie Barfield and it gave me a little hope.
Today is a sad day. I'm going to
miss you in the booth John.
I’m 25, John has been a staple throughout my whole life. Absolutely iconic figure
One of a kind
IF the Yankees make the World Series it would be INCREDIBLE if John called the series or at least the home games one last time
holy cow what a run...😂
Respect!
Or Re2pect!
Lets face it.. the DON was slipping.. he will be missed.
Who is DON?
@@chrisnalina1755 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Don means the Cappo Tout De Cappo... The Captain of all captains.. the Goat.
Solozzo's words
@@dantesalerno3254 YEA
As a twins fan I hate the Yankees mostly cause they always whooped us lol but I always enjoyed his radio calls and he'll be missed for sure have a happy retirement sir 🎉
Already miss him.
Will miss you John .Keep in touch.
Loved listening to Sterling and Susyn call the games for decades. It made the games so much more fun. But I have to wonder why John decided suddenly to retire during the season instead of finishing it out. Especially in a season where it seems that the Yankees could be a real contender.
Class act.
Going to be missed Enjoy retirement
Gio would make an amazing announcer.
Goodbye John. You will be missed. "It is high. It is far. He is gone."
420 day for John
Talked with John about Curley Culp in 1972 on WMCA
Like Bob Murphy retired. the Mets Broadcast and now . New York Yankees games never be the same.😢
End of an era 🎙️ incredibly sad 😔
Shame Carton wasn’t around for this. They could go over John’s top calls through the years
This one really hurt
I hate to see the great ones go, regardless of who they call games for. As a fan of the game, I'll miss hearing him. Very few broadcasters have the quality to attract listeners/viewers regardless of what teams are playing in the game. John is in that category.
Sad day 😭
For all his faults whenever a player hits his first hr I run to the radio to get the call
Not one person is thinking about his faults if he had any
@@Rotti1313 Wrong
😢😢😢
I guess he was talked into "one more season john" for the last few years.
I suppose that I'm in the minority that prioritized accurate and timely calls over self promotion. I tune into a ballgame to follow the players, not to hear the announcer make the show about him and his schtick.
Still, I tip my hat to his years of commitment to the organization and wish him well in his retirement.
He always made it about the players and the game. It was never about him.
TJ Rumfield promoted to triple-A. can he play 2nd and 1st base incase Gleyber and Rizzo needed some rest.
📻 🧙♂️ ⚾
About time. If I made as many errors every day at my job as he does, I'd have been fired long ago. He seems to be a very nice man, I wish him a long and happy retirement. Now lets rid ourselves of Suzyn Waldman and put two pros in that radio booth.
This is going to be like the dodgers when scully retire the Dodgers went on to win the WS
If these guys were smart they’d have Sterling on as a guest as the season progresses. They just got the green light to do so.
Never heard of the guy.
Seems very odd that Sterling retired with no notice. Something’s going on that we don’t know.
Wish he had done this a couple years earlier. He hasn't been sharp the last three years. He will be missed.
Tiki played football to get access to the locker room showers
Finally..................
I lost count of the times that I switched to the other team announcers, because I was so tired of Sterling missing calls and bungling players names and info during the games. Now get rid of Waldman. Hoping Michael Kay gets the job & is not locked into a contract w/YES
GO YANKEES!!!!
It was time, a long time ago
Yeah, because your career has been better.
@@kentmacaig9119
Boy you really got me. Pffff.......
Guys a legend. No doubt. But asap?! Something ain’t right. Hate to say it but it’s the society we live in
Did they push him out?
Remember that he is almost 86 years old.
Oh God, please shut up. He's older than dirt. He wanted to retire. Shut your yap.
He had enough of waldman
64 years of broadcasting and you're going with bitterness against a woman with 30 plus years in the business? Grow up.
Seems very strange that he would choose to retire this way
out of the clear blue sky and immediately. All the reasons why
he is retiring could have been made at the end of last season
or any previous year. You mean just doing home games now
is not good for him?
Why start 2 weeks of this season and then suddenly retire
immediately?
Something seems fishy about this.
Because he's putting on a brave face. He didn't want to retire. He was forced to by health reasons. After the Houston Arizona trip he was exhausted ,he realized he can't do it anymore. The Yanks did offer to let him do just home games, but he turned that down. I think after being off all winter a, when the regular season grind started up after spring training his body told him just can't handle it anymore.
He should've retired during the offseason or at the end of this season.
FINALLY - long over due - wishing him well but listening to him on the radio calling Yankees games was painful -- get in the car - driving - turn on the radio - what do i hear? - long pauses of silence with only the sound of the fans in the ball park -- not a word - so i knew - oh so Sterling is calling the game tonight lol - hitters come up - he doesn't tell you how they did in their previous at bats - and try getting the score out of Sterling - like pulling teeth - brutal - enjoy your retirement - i know i will lol
Thank you. I know it's not a popular sentiment, but I always felt like his calls were clown show idiotic. The Yankees claim to be the class organization, and his calls were buffoon like. I'm glad that he is going to enjoy his life, and I have no personal ill will toward him, but his announcing was atrocious.
Now, Susyn needs to take her queue from him...
'Arotund" voice..it's A ROTUND VOICE.
This is a disaster.
Thank God! I cannot stand John Sterling and his cheeseball HR calls. Its embarrassing.
Can we get rid of Suzyn Waldman too?
Evan looks gruesome.
Grow up
@@Pacmaneman 🤣🤣🤣grow up? He looks horrible
Man just want to retire lol hes old it makes sense. He doesnt have to explain nothing 😂
I can’t wait till Yankee boy, kay retires. He’s so two face and always counting peoples pockets , always smh lol.
John Sterling is a schill for the Yankees. He is a loud mouth. No class. I'll take Red Barber and Mel Allen any day! Even Vin Scully. Good riddance to Sterling.
Eat a shoe
@@Pacmaneman LOL. I must be correct because your comment shows you are not very bright. A typical baseball fan.
@roncaruso931 yes I'm a baseball fan. Eat a shoe
Sterling is a Yankees legend. He's the most entertaining radio announcer of all time. Did he made mistakes? Yes. He's human, it happens. But him being in the booth is why I'd rather listen to the radio broadcast even while watching the game on TV.
@Japplesnap Stering is a loudmouth. Phil Rizzuto was the most entertaining. I was to young to listen or watch Mel Allen and Red Barber, but from what I heard and read, they were the best.
