John Sterling has announced retirement

Not many Yankee fans here, but while  I’m a Mets fan, I think we should all recognize the greatness that comes with the dedication, longevity, and truly unique performance that John Sterling has delivered.

A voice unlike few others.

I hope he is able to spend a lot of quality time with family and friends in his retirement!

Haven't been a real Yankees fan for years, but I spent many a pleasurable hour listening to Sterling on the radio back during the fat years.

Godspeed sir.

Sorry to hear that.  I really hated it when they split up Kay and Sterling - loved that combo.  I would always turn down the tv and turn up the radio to hear them.

My parents met him twice at an IHOP and he was very nice to them. Even let my Mom try on his World Series ring!

To clarify, Sterling has said there is nothing wrong with his health 

Wonder why the abrupt announcement. At least, it looks abrupt.

I changed the thread title, but every link I see mentions health issues.

I very much hope that you are right!

I hope he doesn't, but everyone else says otherwise.
