If you caught Wednesday night's Yankeecast, the unfamiliar voice in the booth might've been slightly familiar from last seasons' commercials for a local healthcare provider.
But "Rickie Ricardo" proved to be a great fit with Suzyn, as this ink-stained wretch affirms.
He straight-out says he wants to take over for the master when he retires someday in the far, far future and it's not as far-fetched as it seems; he's a highly respected announcer in Philly, whose football calls (he even sings!) get love from above:

And his Sir Didi call (thanks to Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside)
Rickie will be on tonight as John rests up for the weekend, so give him a listen.This may just be the greatest home run call I have ever listened to pic.twitter.com/NTasvYZmhJ— Andrew (@AndrewwM_) April 4, 2018
In the meantime, groove with Suzyn from 1986
