00:00Legendary New York Yankees radio broadcaster John Sterling has passed away at the age of 87.
00:05New York sports and Yankees fans will always remember his iconic voice of the Yankees for 36 years.
00:12I'm talking 1989 to 2024.
00:15He was renowned for his signature home run calls, his dedication to the game, and a one-of-a-kind
00:21broadcasting style.
00:22Now, I didn't grow up in New York, so I never got a chance to experience that feeling
00:27that many of you die-hard Yankees fans felt when you'd be in the car with your parents,
00:31the window's down, it's summertime, and you'd hear that voice come through the radio.
00:36It is high, it is far, it is gone.
00:39It takes a special type of broadcaster and man to leave such a lasting impression and nostalgia on an entire
00:46fan base.
00:475,420 regular season and 211 postseason games called,
00:52in an impressive 5,060 consecutive games called.
00:57He was there for five World Series championships.
01:00He was there for Jeter.
01:01He was there for A-Rod.
01:02He was there when Aaron Judge hit 62.
01:05When you think about some of the greatest moments in Yankees history the past three decades,
01:11John Sterling was on the call.
01:13As a broadcaster myself, somebody who has tried to spend years chasing that thing
01:18that makes people feel something special through a mic,
01:21I have a deep, deep respect for what John Sterling built.
01:25...
01:29and we'll beWhen soup from a person who has tried to break up,
