John Sterling, the longtime voice of the New York Yankees, retired in 2024 after over three decades of broadcasting. Sterling reminisced about his journey to the Yankees, initially working somewhere else when he received a call to join the team. He reflected on earning just $60 a week early in his career and shared humorous misadventures, including getting hit by a foul ball and an awkward food experience at Fenway Park. His retirement marks the end of an era, influencing how baseball is experienced by fans.
Why's everyone, the whole world, crazed for baseball? "Because they make a lot of money, that's why."
Other than what I just said, the team has wanted other changes, like they want the pitchers to pitch quicker because the games take so long.
I even once got hit by a foul ball. The guy fouled the pitch back and that ball hit me right over my left eye.
No audition, no nothing. He rang me back and said, 'We have a deal.'
