However, John Sterling is an American sportscaster, best known as the radio play-by-play announcer of Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees. Sterling called 5,060 consecutive Yankees games, beginning in 1989, before taking a four-game break in July 2019.
He began his broadcasting career in Baltimore, where he served as the play-by-play announcer for the then-Baltimore Bullets for the 1970–71 NBA season. He also did play-by-play for Morgan State University football, a role that he held from 1971 to 1978.
Sterling came to New York broadcasting as a talk show host with WMCA in 1971. He later served as the radio voice for the WHA’s New York Raiders, the WFL’s New York Stars, the NHL’s New York Islanders (where he was paired with Bob Lawrence), and the ABA/NBA’s New York/New Jersey Nets (where he was paired mainly with Mike DeTomasso).
Sterling also did a stretch with the Yankees as a pre-game host on WMCA and WINS radio, as well as co-host on cable segments with Mel Allen.
