The Search is on for a New Voice to Represent IIH, IIF, II...c
John Sterling can never be replaced (apparently), but now is the chance for this blog to find a new voice for all the Yankiverse, one to inspire the fans, motivate the players and carry on a great tradition. Send in your videos now!
Since John Sterling is in his 70's now (age 71 born 7-4-1938) there just may be a change in the booth in a year or so. Not sure why Wikipedia is showing he was born in 1948 but it is erroneous.

Why no one in the NY media did the math makes no sense. Here are a couple of links:
