John Sterling Honored by Yankees After Retirement; Jeter, More Send Video Message
The New York Yankees took time to show appreciation for longtime radio announcer John Sterling on Saturday.
Sterling announced his retirement Monday after 36 years as the Yankees announcer. It ended a 64-year career as a broadcaster, with other stops including the Baltimore Bullets, New Jersey Nets and Atlanta Braves.
Sterling received a jersey that commemorated the 5,631 Yankee games that he called and former Yankees Derek Jeter, Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams sent him a congratulatory message that aired on YES Network.
He reflected on how honored he was to have the ceremony and to be celebrated for the work he did.
