00:00doubt he was an original and you mentioned it the years my entire life john sterling was the voice
00:04of the new york yankees and i talk about this a lot the the perfect combination of baseball and
00:08radio i think it's you i think it's by far the best sport on the radio you're with it all
00:12summer
00:12long they do all the playoff games that's right tv guys don't get to do that don't get a chance
00:17to
00:17do that and he was the like today i think yankee fans feel like we lost a friend someone who
00:21is
00:21our companion throughout all these seasons in the big moments i think part of his flubs and stuff
00:26that happened later in his career became part of his charm and another reason why you wanted to
00:30listen to him you wanted to listen to john and for me i i say this a lot at the
00:35end of every series i
00:36would go to my radio because i wanted to hear american league championship over world series
00:41over i wanted to hear all that because that was part of the tradition especially i think he'll
00:46always be remembered with that dynasty team all those wins all those big games all those big moments
00:51all those home runs and then yes the home run calls and everything that came after but for me
00:56it was that special time in yankee history and for yankee fans of this generation where they were
01:01in big playoff games every single year and john sterling was there for all of it he was an
01:06incredible listen he was great in the big moments he told stories throughout the game that got you
01:11entertained he was as entertaining i don't think of him and i know earlier in his career he might have
01:16been better at it i don't think of him as a nuts and bolts broadcaster i really don't personally
01:21i think of him as an entertainer i think of him as someone i popped on the game
01:25the voice instantly told me where what we were listening to what was going on how big the moment
01:30was you could tell by his inflection and just ultimately you could turn it on and feel comfortable
01:35for two and a half hours listening to john sterling just casually take you through a baseball game
01:39yeah look at the
01:40yeah look at the
