Yankees’ legendary broadcaster John Sterling.
Longtime New York Yankees radio announcer John Sterling has officially retired from his job after multiple decades of calling games.
While appearing on a broadcast of Saturday’s Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays game, Sterling was asked if he’s going to miss calling Yankees games down the road how that he’s officially stepped away.
His blunt answer? “No… I’m exhausted.” Understandable!
“Mel Stottlemyre would say to the pitcher in his last inning, ‘Empty the tank.’ Well, my tank is empty,” Sterling shared on the broadcast, something that anyone who has done a job for a long time can absolutely related with.

Sterling leaves behind a fantastic legacy, as MLB fans poured out tributes to the broadcasting legend when news of his retirement broke.
While Sterling happily said he will still follow along with the Yankees, he does sound like a man who is very ready to just watch the team with the fans instead of broadcast what New York is doing on game days.
