Brendan Burke is a deserving heir apparent to John Sterling in the Yankees’ radio booth.
That said, he should only step up to the microphone when Sterling is ready to step back.
Burke has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed Sterling, according to The Post’s Andrew Marchand. Which makes complete sense. The Islanders’ television voice is the most prominent of the Sterling fill-ins who have received spot work this summer, and he has acquitted himself well. The Yankees and WFAN need to prepare for the future at some point, too.
