Veteran radio broadcaster John Sterling has announced his retirement at the age of 85, during his 34th season in the New York Yankees broadcast booth. In recent years, he had reduced his workload and did not travel with the team for their recent trips to Houston and Toronto. Over his illustrious career, Sterling called a total of 5,631 games, including 211 postseason games, with his last game being against the Blue Jays on April 7.
Sterling began his broadcasting career with the Yankees as a pregame host and went on to broadcast 5,060 consecutive games from September 1989 to July 2019. He will be honored in a special pregame ceremony before Saturday’s game against Tampa Bay. In a statement, Sterling expressed his gratitude for being able to pursue his passion for broadcasting for the past 64 years, including 36 years with the Yankees. He leaves the industry feeling happy and fulfilled, and is looking forward to reuniting with everyone at the ceremony on Saturday.
