John Sterling, the iconic voice of the Yankees, retired suddenly in April, yet he found himself back in the booth for this year’s postseason.
The Yankees faced a do-or-die situation against the Dodgers in Game 4. Sterling’s legendary “Yankees win” call echoed once more as New York triumphed 11-4, forcing a Game 5 showdown.
"BALLGAME OVER! YANKEES WIN! THEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES….WIN!"
We've got a Game 5 tomorrow night, and one more ride for John Sterling in the Bronx!

Memorable Moments and Legacy:
Sterling’s career spans over six decades, with an impressive streak of over 5,000 consecutive games called. His witty home run calls became synonymous with Yankees’ glory days during the ’90s and early 2000s. Fans might think this comeback could make the current team as legendary as those past squads.
If New York pulls off a miracle after trailing 3-0 to Los Angeles, this season could be etched into history alongside names like Jeter and Williams.
