  1. I think I may have the last piece of audio from Sterling on the Internet:

  2. Sterling needs to do some hip-rotating exercises to lengthen his win warbles... obviously.

  3. 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. At least the baseball historians know the truth as do others. Sterling was approaching 50 back in the 80's when he worked as an announcer for the Atlanta Braves and Hawks. Why no one in the NY media did the math makes no sense. Here are a couple of links:
