Sims is said to be finalizing a deal with WFAN, the flagship station for Yankees baseball and host of its radio network. He'll succeed Sterling, who had been calling Yankees games since 1989 before retiring early in the 2024 season.
Born in Philadelphia and raised in the New York area, the 71-year-old Sims is no stranger to New York sports, as he began his career as a writer for the New York Daily News.
Sims began doing play-by-play for Major League Ball broadcasts. After nearly 20 years in the broadcasting business, he landed a job as the Seattle Mariners' main broadcaster for regional sports network Root Sports in 2007.
His high energy and well known catch phrases have become fan favorites not just in Seattle, but across the baseball community.
