I can no longer access images via google ( I'll work with Mustang to get this corrected ), but I can't let this day pass without comment.
John Sterling, our " reason for being" is dead. In his 87th year, I believe.
"What," as the French writer , Albert Camus, once said, " do we do now?"
The honorifics and messages of condolence will last but a few days.
Do we carry on as if unaffected?
As a line in one of my favorite country song states, " a link in that chain has been broken."
Can we continue to represent this man now that he is calling games for Babe Ruth and Lou?
I still remember meeting John on two occasions; at the mayor's mansion in NYC after a World Series win, and in a bar in Tampa during spring training ( he was drinking martinis).
"It is high, it is far...." will live forever. For John and all his calls.
I'll drink to that
I propose we all raise a glass at the start of tonight's game in our honor of our "raison d'être."
ReplyDeleteAnd carry on, with and in his name
