A sad, sad day for me as I learned that my favorite announcer, John Sterling, has passed away.
Rest in Peace, John.
Your voice will always be a major part of my Yankees memories.

"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
"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
"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."

Legendary! Back in the day when I had a business , a land line, and an answering machine., his call of the final out of the 2009 World Series was heard . RIP!
It is high It is far It is gone... we will miss you John Sterling 😢 RIP
How much of tonight's broadcast will have both Suzyn & Michael channeling John?
Will the Yankees put a 🎤 or something on their jersey to honor him?
Sad day. He was the soundtrack for some of my greatest memories.
