👋 As a Red Sox fan, John broadcast some of my ongoing nightmares. But also some of my greatest baseball moments. And on those occassions he did it with professionalism and class. John is a great play by play pro, and not just in baseball as the voice of the Yankees. John's call for the Hawk's of Lary Bird's 60 point night still give me chills. Here is to a retirement well earned!!
In tears.
You are a legend John Sterling.
You will be DEEPLY missed not being in the booth everyday.
The end of an era, but what an era it was 😎
Nobody calls a game like this guy thanks John you will be missed.
True. He was the worst. Nobody touches it.
Now get rid of Suzyn too.
Have you ever heard of Mel Allen. Red Barber. Phil Rizzuto. Vin Scully. They were not loudmouths screaming and yelling when a guy hit a HR or the Yanks won a game.
Vin Scully was one of the best, IMO (no offense to Mr. Sterling), and this is coming from a Yankees fan.
I will never forget listening to John Sterling from my first memories on this earth! Thank you! Sad day for baseball!
As a kid in 2003, when my parents cancelled the cable plan in which forbidden me to watch Yes network, I had to tune in to the radio network called WCBS just to listen to the Yankee games and how they were playing. The way John called the games, he brought us with so much positivity and enjoyment whether they win or lose. Enjoy the retirement and well deserved ❤️👏👏.
I’m in the same boat. Didn’t get YES as a kid. So John was the guy.
The Best Voice Ever. The Best Love John. Pete sr ❤😊
From a teenager in 1989 to know I. 2024 you made listening to Yankees games so wonderful for me!! For the bottom of my heart I thank you so much John Sterling!!! Listening to Yankees games will never be the same!! I pray that Jesus blesses you and your family!! Thanks again good sir!! 🙏🏾 up!!
*I was a heavy gambler guy and every time I bet on the Yankees I preferred to listen the games on the Radio rather TV because this man gave me Peace, I carry him in my heart forever*
He was the voice of my childhood. Going to miss hearing him
Get a life.
@@roncaruso931says the guy commenting on everyone else’s post
@@Matter-of-Fax I can comment as much as I choose. Ever hear of free speech? Sterling was a loudmouth.
@@roncaruso931 you’re a troll
@@Matter-of-Fax What? Please try to be intelligent.
Sports is nothing but entertainment, and John was as much a part of the entertainment package as the team itself. Wishing John a long, happy, and healthy retirement!
The new gen of Yankee fans will never know the glory of listening to this man call homers
Yea replay’s definitely don’t exist
@@inbredhorses yup, replays are definitely the exact same thing as experiencing it live. Ya got me.
@@alexsaavedra2905 that’s not what you said
All Yankee fans will miss you John! The voice of a generation. Enjoy retirement!
Not a Yankee fan but I would tune in just to listen to John an Susan. They make baseball a joy to listen to.
It will never be the same.
Agreed
i used to listen to John at night when the yankees played late @westcoast lying on my bed every day during middle school/high school days. I will miss you John, what a great career! Congratulations!
YES! I spent many nights listening to John and Suzyn calling west coast games
Love John Sterling🎙after 35 years will always be the voice of the Yankees. I listened to him since he started in 1989 with Jay Johnston on WABC radio in NY. I also want to give a beloved retirement good bye to another long time NY news anchor Dana Tyler who started in 1990 on WCBS news just retired after 34 years. Two of my all time favorites, l loved them.
Thank you for remembering Dana Tyler, too. Two class acts.
As a 12 year old kid, with an old radio getting a static broadcast in Florida, matching audio to TV broadcasted playoff games. I will forever miss his calls. I still now 48 years of age listened to every inning of his broadcasts this year. I will miss it so much
They could’ve done a 24 hour retirement ceremony and it still wouldn’t have been enough. Man I’m sad he’s retiring. Thank you for everything John, best of luck in retirement.
The Yankees broadcast won't be the same without John Sterling...He will be missed so much. Thanks for the memories John.
It won’t be the same with just Suzyn Waldman.
Born in 1988 - I literally know nothing else - the Yankees win, thheeee Yankees win
It is high it is far. It is gone best broadcaster ever❤ No one will do better
Hope he has many years to enjoy
That montage puts a tear in my eye.
Thank you John
Listened to your last game without knowing
An honor
Thanks for the memories, John! Have a great retirement!
Thank you John, I always liked your homerun call
Legendary sportscaster!! You will be missed, John.
John, thank you to you and Susan for helping to make me the Yankees fan I am today. Enjoy your well earned retirement!!
Thank You John Sterling
So glad I got the John and Suzyn bobblehead at the stadium last year!
HOWDOYALIKETHAT! WE LOVE YOU JOHN THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES
No way the Yankees actually gave an 83 inch LG flatscreen TV to John Sterling for watching Yankees games.
Well it was more LG
Pretty nice tv tho
They would've given him the "Jumbotron" at Yankee Stadium, but it wouldn't fit in his house!😂
After he announced his retirement, John Sterling stated he'd be watching every game.
Like they gave him a TV 83 inch for 30 years of service at least give him a vacation or a 1 month cruise
The intro compilation of all the best calls and moments was incredible
You will me missed John. Thanks for being the voice of the NYY
All the Best John!!!!
Thank you John
Thank you John. Enjoy your retirement life. I’ll miss your voice.😢
John, you’re the BEST! You will be missed by all Yankees fans.
Happy Retirement!
John. You’re the BEST!
You will be missed by all Yankees fans.
Have a happy retirement!
Yankee fan from Vermont, don’t get YES up here. JS has been my voice of the Yankees, not gonna lie, it will be not be the same. Thank You ….. Thank You. 😢
Thank you John Sterling. Listened to you for so many hot and humid NY summers. Gonna miss you.
I already miss hearing him call games.
As they played the package of his various calls I literally started to cry. I will miss those calls. Although I loved "Burn Baby Burn" I remembed how much I loved "A Thrilla from Godzilla!" and if someone hit a double in the gap John would say "It's going to roll all-the-way-to the wall...!" I am going to miss John so much. Happy Trails Mr. Sterling! Enjoy your retirement!
Thank you Mr. John Sterling for your unique play calling I will miss you and your voice when yankee games are on. Happy retirement
Yankees Win!!!!!!
You will be missed😢 thank you for the memories ❤
You will be missed
Sterling is a legend
Thanks for the memories John. For most of my adult life, I've been a driver and I took your voice with me for the ride. Hearing those Yankee game broadcasts made work not feel like work. There will never be another John Sterling. And a lot of people don't give Suzyn enough credit, but one day she will call her last game and I will feel that void as well. Hopefully that is still many years to come. Enjoy your retirement and God bless you!
Thanks for a great career
I just want to say nothing will be the same with John Sterling never its my hinor to say congrats John sterling on his 5 ,631 games
I missed spelled honor sorry about that
John Sterling you are the greatest. You will be missed.
I will definitely miss hearing you call Yankee games John! Thank you for your passion, enthusiasm, dedication and for the many entertaining moments. Enjoy your retirement!
I almost exclusively follow on the radio. Won't be the same without him. Thanks for all the memories and god bless!
I already miss hearing his voice.
Some of us a lot older than most of you remember Messer, White and the Scooter, as Yankee announcers and even heard Mel Allen as very young boyhood listeners.
We used to ridicule him and make fun of his calls, but he was the GOAT. He should be in the Hall.
I'm old enough to remember him as the Braves announcer.
Best broadcasters of alltime
1. Vin Scully
2. John Sterling
3. Pat Hughes
@@Aldrickrosas14
4) Jack Buck
5) Ernie Harwell
6) Harry Callas
7) Harry Caray
Surely you’re joking. Scully definitely but Sterling? Hardly.
Thank you, John. You'll really be missed. Have a good retirement.😢😢😢 Love you always.
Missing you already John! Praying for you to call One Last Game.
😢 so many chills.... God is good and thank God that we had John Sterling..
so many great calls all of them gave me chills...
IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR IT IS GONEEEEE
SO ICONIC
🥹
Even though I hate the Yankees 70 percent and the Dodgers 100 percent, Congrats John Sterling for calling Braves games as well! Enjoy retirement and go Braves!
"The gutty, gritty Yankees have come all the way back, 6-0 down to tie the game at 6." Sterling on Leyritz' 1996 WS difference maker and historic HR off Wohlers. I remember the magic.
Thank you John, enjoy retirement you deserve it!
John Sterling a great man
Thank you John for announcing yankee games on the radio. It was great listening to him. I'm going to miss him. Congratulations Mr.Sterling. he had an awesome career. Enjoy your retirement.
John you probably didn’t know this but you have been my Yankees best friend for years…
Thanks John. Godspeed sir.
Thanks for the memories John,Yankees should Monument Park honor
John Sterling, you were perhaps the greatest voice of Yankees Radio ever. We fans are going to miss you so much. I wish you all the best in your journey to retirement. 😢😢😢
my favorite sports broadcaster
Grown man here. Tearing up a little. Met him once, briefly. We went to the same Lutheran church.
Definitely had to wipe my eyes a few times, here... wow. I've listened to him calling the Yankees games for more than 20 of his 36 years. It just IS NOT the same without him! :'( He truly brought a unique, fun, entertaining, and engaging flair to the games! Of course, there were his FAMOUS and BELOVED Home Run Calls!
I couldn't have said this any better. I feel the way.
Thank you for an amazing Sterling career John. enjoy your retirement. THEEEE YANKEEES WIN! BERN BABY BERN!
My youth as a Yankees fan just ended .I was a teenager when he started broadcasting for our boys.Won't be the same following the Bronx Bombers without him.Have a great retirement,John & go Yanks!
Nailed the final speech too like a true legend
Thanks, John Sterling!
In my 69+ years I've had the privilege of listening to Mel Allen, Red Barber, Jerry Coleman, Phil Rizzuto, Bill White, Frank Messer, Bobby Murcer, Jim Kaat, Ken Singleton, David Cone, Michael Kay, Suzyn Waldman, and of course, John Sterling. Not a bad lineup.
John Sterling may your voice live in infamy! You are the epitome of what baseball is now and like what shoes and Walden said that's right. I like you said the Susan susan, that's baseball. And I'm going to miss your voice, you will be one of the truly blessed Yankees that have ever graced the game. So I can at least tell you John that you are one of the greatest broadcasters since Vin Scully started doing it back in 1951, what you been doing these games now for 35 wonderful years and may you live another 35 years all the way up until you see the Lord Jesus Christ when you will be broadcasting for him! And that catchphrase of yours whenever you see a home run which happens to be IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS GONE! May we remember that voice for as long as we live.
Good comment after the first sentence. "Infamy" is being famous in a bad way.
This is sad for real he's a for real legend and did such an incredible job
The '96 season was a lot of fun with the first championship year in a while and John and Michael Kay on the radio.
John has the best voice for radio, always easy to listen to. He's also a natural talker, did talk radio before doing play by play. In a 2 person radio booth that's what you need. Most guys in radio booths today are exact opposite of John, thus I can't listen. They're cookie cutter, chirpy, scared to death they'll have to respond to conversation in the booth. They're not natural talkers.
It is high, it is Far, it is Caught at the Track near the Wall
that highlight reel has me so juiced on my lunch break rn
My grandpa had a habit of watching the game but listening to John Sterling. Weird but he said he preferred Sterling calling the game.
John is a legend. He should be out in monument park
Agreed
What a great idea.
Excellent idea.
10 innings and they couldn’t score a run for him….”that’s baseball Susan.”
this man will be so missed by yankees fans everywhere 🥲🤍
perfect voice for the yankees
he will be missed
Yeah, he called Braves games, as a Bravos guy I wish him well.
I'm going to miss some of those calls and player's names.. like the Giambino and the Bern baby Bern!
A sad day for Yankees fans everywhere.
Let’s replace the Starr Insurance patch with a Silver Sterling one.
He said that the main reason he quit was not because of stamina, but the traffic, he lives in Edgewater NJ, he had to go over the bridge n to the deegan every day, He should hav moved closer like in Westchester county n Maybie he would hav continued a bit longer
Please direct your attention to the video board then the CZcams ad appeared. Jeez !!!
For anybody who wants to hear Sterling at his most boisterous...
July 4th - 5th, 1985. Fulton County Stadium. Mets at Braves. And a batter named Rick Camp. When you know... you know!❤😂
⚾ 📻 🧙♂️ 👏👏
The sun will come out Tanaka
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Yankees Winn
Skip to 11:20 for the TV
He should be president
