00:00When you get that Yankee job, it's obviously one of the most prestigious in all of sports,
00:04and he made it his own.
00:06It was not just calling the Yankees.
00:08It was John Sterling calling the Yankees.
00:10People wanted to see what he looked like when he was calling these games.
00:14That's why the Sterling cam happened, and you saw how he did the Yankees win call
00:18where he would shake himself to make sure that he got that out in the way that he wanted.
00:22He was entertainment personified.
00:25He was a man who loved Broadway.
00:27He would make those references with Susan, who also loved Broadway,
00:31and you could tell he loved Broadway because he was a showman himself,
00:34and he brought all of those things that he loved in entertainment to his own broadcast
00:38to create something that was so incredibly him.
00:42There's no one like him, and there's so many people that have come through this business
00:48that you could say this guy sounds like this guy, this guy sounds like that guy.
00:52John Sterling was his own, and if you tried to recreate John Sterling,
00:56you couldn't do it because you sounded foolish because he was the only one that could do it.
