Even Yankee haters will have to concede the dude was a legend.

Very sad. I believe he called some games for them just last year in the postseason.

"Ernie, if he hits a home run to tie this game, this game will be certified as absolutely the nuttiest in the history of baseball."

WS Championship for Sterling. What a legend; we should all appreciate Greatness, whether they are associated with our favorite team or not. RIP to a legend.

Not missing a game until he was 80 years old is incredible

He did the Hawks and was a really good baseball broadcaster with the Braves on TBS in the '80s. He was enjoyable to listen to on the Braves game with Ernie, Pete and Skip. They all had great chemistry.

I don't want to speak ill of the dead so I'll just say his Yankees career it was legendary, but not in the way people normally think of the word "legendary."

Still, I'll give the man credit for having a 30-year streak of not missing a game with the Yankees. That's really impressive.

Never liked him at the Braves. Didn't think he fit in with Ernie/Skip/Pete trio - at all. Was glad he moved on.

They’re all gone now. I wonder if we’ll ever see a true Yankee organization again?

Michael Kay is pretty good too, and his homerun call is not over the top (it's just "See Ya"). We need a Judgian Blast tonight. A Sterling DONG; that has a nice ring to it.

This stinks because I recently listened to his Saturday Afternoon Radio Talk Show and his shows are very good! Way better than I expected.

Who would ever think that John Sterling could air an outstanding radio talk show up until the day he died? Not me.

PS It's not a long talk show - only an hour or so, but, very entertaining.

Downvoters are just trash. Great announcer. Fine human being.

Much more enjoyable to listen to.

He was insufferable doing the Yankees.
