Bernie Williams is the most under-appreciated Yankee of all time
I lived and died Yankees in those days - chills - just sobbing - you took me back - all those emotions.
Goosebumps... they just won't go away.
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 grate career! Congratulations!
With these calls, it's hard not to get emotional. I'm having a hard time holding back my tears thinking and reliving those moments 🥲🥲
I was working 2nd shift at the time of the Scott Brosius homerun in game 5. I was listening to the game on the radio at work and made it home in time for the bottom of the ninth. We had 2 young daughters . . . ages 5 and 8. When Brosius hit the homer to tie the game I went nuts . . . screaming with ephoria. My wife said to hush up or I'll wake up the girls. "Are you kidding . . . you never see this again in our lifetime!" Well, I'm 73 now and yes, I will never see anything like that again and I thank John Sterling for broadcasting that wonderful moment and giving me chills to this day!
Francesa and Mad Dog used to lead their afternoon drive replaying Sterling calls from the night before!!! They would crack up hysterically! Always great when they started show like that!

I remember I recored them on video cassette, WOW THE NOSTALGIA 🥹
All the calls and wfan go hand and hand
Leyritz was my favorite all time, I recited that for years
Not a Yankee fan but his calls are by far some of the greatest in baseball history.
Bernie Williams “Bern baby Burn” was the best, by far
With the Soriano homer…you have to keep playing the audio…John says there are no more moves to make, Rivera will the pitch the 8th and 9th
I definitely agree with Evan! I remember it as if it was today listening the game on the radio! Oh the chills! Mr. November was born that night..
That's his #1 Yankees call but to me his all time call is Rick Camp hitting a game tying HR in the bottom of the 18th against the Mets in 1985
Games 4 and 5 are in my top five favorite sports memories. Those, Jeters final home AB, Jordan's final sequence as a Bull (Hits a jumper, steals from Malone, hits the game winner) and Mattingly (my favorite player from the moment I started watching as a six year old) hitting a homer in his only playoff series.
Toughest one to leave out is Charlie Hayes catching the final.out in 96, since that was the first championship in my time watching.
If the Yankees don’t give sterling a plaque tomorrow I’ll be pissed
Idk if they can get it made on 4 days time but they’ll probably have to done for old timers day
Downtown Goes Frazier was my favorite
I truly thought because of what our country was going through I believed the Yankees would win.
John simply the best
5-Game 4, 1996 World Series
4-Game 1, 1996 American League Championship Series
3-Game 7, 2001 World Series
2-Game 4, 2001 World Series
1-Game 5, 2001 World Series
That Bernie call is classic
Best call at the stadium was a Barry Bonds Hr where Broadcaster says this one head for New Jersey....lmao classic
I was looking for the sun will come out tanaka!!!
The Bennie Triple is the call but regular season
8:05 he DIDN’T say “greatest Homerun in WS history”. He said “probably the most unbelievable feat in WS history”. There is a big difference. Sterling was clearly considering the fact that it was the same hitter against the Same closer in the 9th inning… tell me when that’s happened before or since? It is anything but hyperbole, especially since he added the disclaimer of “probably”.
If I could go back in time and change one single play in all of sports history it would be Mariano throwing the ball into center field. Still have nightmares over it
I'll admit...I started to rip a bit on Mr. Sterling...it is high! It is far! It's....caught by the 2nd basemen...ha..but he was a great announcer.
Totally with you. I love a lot of his calls,but his generic HR call tends to be used on non homers over half the time. I always though Kays call was great, "Back, track, to the wall, she's gone." It gives him room to pivot if it isn't a homer.
But Johns Bern baby Bern is my favorite call of all time.
@@snerdterguson agreed...I think Kay's call does allow him to pivot...see ya! Is great...and based on the home run he extens it.....there it goooooooes! See ya! Ha
Sotos HR last night was epic. No way we don't sign him. I'd be shocked otherwise. Yankee fans will tear the stadium down. Ha

Nice list, but you left out a couple obvious ones.

I give him credit for his professionalism, his work ethic, and his longevity but people calling him a goat is ridiculous. He blew so many calls and was super corny. He'd get calls wrong but not even correct himself. To be honest he should have hung it up like 5-10 years ago, I know people won't like these takes but him and Suzyn are boring af
I agree. Yankee broadcasts are a 3 hr commercial. Suzan doing commercials for Route 22 Toyota, etc. boring AF
It like rooting Russia against USA
John sucked. So does Suzy.... Meredith did it better then suzy
