About John Sterling:
 
John Sterling has been the radio voice of the Yankees since 1989. The ironman has announced every single game since taking over as the voice of the iconic baseball organization.
 
The New York City native 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 returned 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, and the ABA/NBA's New York/New Jersey Nets.
 
From 1975 through 1980, Sterling announced Nets and Islanders games for WMCA, WVNJ, WOR-TV, and SportsChannel New York, continuing his WMCA talk program until 1978. After his initial stint in New York, Sterling spent nine years in Atlanta hosting a sports call-in show on WSB radio and covering the Braves (1982–1987) and Hawks (1981–1989) for Turner Sports.
 
After previously residing in Teaneck, N.J., Sterling has since relocated to nearby Edgewater.
