Sterling had cut back his schedule in recent years and was not with the team for its trip to Houston and Toronto. He called 5,420 regular-season games, the last against the Blue Jays on April 7, plus 211 postseason games.
Sterling will be honored in a pregame ceremony before Saturday's game against Tampa Bay. 'I have been able to do what I wanted, broadcasting for 64 years,' Sterling said in a statement.
Sterling broadcast 5,060 consecutive games from September 1989 through July 2019 after starting with the Yankees as a pregame host.
