Jerry, I got to stop here because we've got some very sad breaking news from Al just now

and has been confirmed that one of the great voices in New York sports history has passed

away. John Sterling has died. So did not see that coming. Obviously, we know he was older,

but he had seemed so spry and energetic the last time we had heard from him.

Definitely just brutal news this morning. John was as good as it gets, entertained us for so many years, had so much fun with him.

He was just everything that a play-by-play man should be in loving his

audience, loving the sport, loving the Yankees, and delivering it in a way that was truly his own.

And a voice that certainly will never be forgotten because a lot of people come through these jobs,

come through this city, and not a lot of them can say that we'll remember them and reference them for many, many years until we pass away.

And his memory will live on through those calls, through our memories, as long as we're on this planet.

Tonight's going to be an amazing night at Yankee Stadium.

I know to John Sterling truly, I mean, entertaining.

And as you said, Gio, he loved the sport.

He loved the Yankees.

And he loved it so much that he lasted as long as he did.

I mean, there are many times where he could have retired and he didn't.

Yeah.

He stayed right there and, man, I'll tell you what, there were moments where he was just, he was amazing.

He was amazing.

He reminds me of what Marv Albert used to be, with Sam, Big Sam for us, for the Rangers,

Sam Rosen.

I mean, just that level of broadcaster that you as a fan become so comfortable with that
