Long before he was a play-by-play broadcaster for the Yankees, Nets, Islanders, Bullets, Braves, and Hawks, John Sterling was the PIONEER of the radio call-in Sports Talk format. He did his call-in Sports Talk radio show (The John Sterling Show, he even sang the "jingle" for the show!) LONG before WFAN existed and LONG before Art Rust Jr did his long time Sports Talk radio show. John Sterling did Sports Talk radio on WMCA long before that, pioneering the format.

They said "effective immediately", but technically, he is actually retiring THIS COMING Saturday, as part of a ceremony in his honor on Saturday at Yankee Stadium before the game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He will be missed. His unique home run calls which even involves him singing (what other sports broadcaster SINGS as part of their play-by-play!) will not be duplicated by anyone. I wonder if there is a health issue we're not aware of? It is unusual for a broadcaster to retire midseason, and not "just before" it, or "just after" it.

Scattering the Ashes.jpeg

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
