Hi everybody, I just heard the sad news about the passing of my dear friend, John Sterling.

John had a voice that was unmistakable, larger than life, and full of joy for the game. Some of my fondest memories are during those winter nights when he’d come by to hear me sing at @cafecarlyle . He didn’t have to be there, but he was. A true fan of music, and a loyal friend.

Off the mic, he was everything you’d hope: kind, thoughtful, and always ready with a smile and a story. We shared some wonderful evenings, and I’ll always be grateful for that time.

To my @yankees family, and to everyone who grew up hearing his voice… my heart is with you.

Rest easy, John. You called it like no one else ever could. 🎙️
