00:00John Sterling, legendary play-by-play voice of the New York Yankees, passed away this morning at the age of
00:0687.
00:07I'm a die-hard Yankees fan, so obviously when I heard the news, I was sad. I was crushed.
00:13I also think it's incredibly important to celebrate the life and the career of John Sterling,
00:19who was the voice of summer, the voice of October, a voice that for me literally spanned generations,
00:29growing up listening to John Sterling, celebrating John Sterling with my dad,
00:35celebrating John Sterling with my son.
00:37When you start talking about the bond of baseball and baseball on the radio, it's John Sterling.
00:44He was just the ultimate performer, always wearing a suit with a pocket square to every single Yankee game that
00:52he called.
00:52He had a flair, just an unbelievable moment for the dramatic and the event that was New York Yankee baseball
01:01and calling Yankee baseball.
01:03He was Mozart, Picasso, Sinatra. He was the ultimate entertainer.
01:11The Yankees win! Signature call at the end of every single game.
01:17Ball game over. Yankees win.
01:19Pouring his heart and his soul and his passion into every single Yankee broadcast.
01:25That's baseball, Susan, when something bizarre would happen.
01:29He was absolutely iconic.
01:32What doesn't strike this man in?
