Very sweet.
What a thoroughly nice and classy man
Great story. Great guy.
A great testimonial.
And i thought I had shed all my tears yesterday. What a mensch
What a guy! In all those many years of broadcasting Yankee games, I never once heard John Sterling bad-mouth anyone. That's hard to do, especially considering how many haters he had. Just goes to show how positive a person he was, a light unto the world!
This is the link to Keefe To The City's first post. It's about The Master and his Partner in Crime:
To quote Keefe: "When I stopped writing for WFAN and CBS New York and took Keefe To The City out on its own back in 2012, the first post I wrote was A Sunday with John and Suzyn, a live blog recapping the two calling a game against the Tigers. The first blog on keefetothecity.com wasn’t as much about the Yankees as it was the voice of the Yankees.
John Sterling was the man. A character, an original, a legend. I have missed his voice since he left following the 2024 World Series (after leaving initially earlier that season) and long for him calling games. I miss his stories, his exuberance and his creativity. Who cares if he called a fair ball foul or a flyout a home run every once in a while? It’s baseball. It’s entertainment and he was as entertaining as any voice that ever has or ever will call a baseball game."
