ALT Fans find a certain comfort in the daily rhythms of baseball. Day in & day out, season after season, & city after city, John Sterling used his seat in the broadcast booth to bring Yankees fans the heartbeat of the game, employing an orotund voice & colorful personality that were distinctly, unmistakably his own. John informed and entertained, and he exemplified what it means to be a New Yorker with an unapologetic and boisterous style that exuded his passion for baseball, broadcasting & the New York Yankees. There is no shortage of adjectives to describe John and what he means to this organization & our millions of fans around the world. But what makes John a goliath of the sports broadcasting world was how sacred he held his role as voice of the Yankees. Showing up to perform virtually every single day since 1989, he was a pillar for Yankees fans who relied on the comfort & familiarity of his voice to be the soundtrack of their spring, summer and fall.
