Yankees radio voice Dave Sims not feeling pressure replacing John Sterling: ‘I’m just gonna be me’
"I'm not gonna imitate anybody."
"I'm not gonna imitate anybody."
"I loved becoming part of Mariner Nation and the great Pacific Northwest."
Sims has ties to WFAN, having worked for the station as a midday sports talk host from 1989-93.
"In my 49 years of broadcasting baseball, I've never seen that."
"I thought the ball was going to be out. And it wasn't close."
Sterling's bold claim on Yankee baserunning now has some statistical support.
"Judge, line drive, right field, hit well! AND IT IS UP AND OUT! JUDGE HAS HOMERED! THE GAME IS TIED AT THREE!"
"Boy, if that wasn't the Yankees. That's what they do, run the bases like drunks."
We're happy to have Sterling back. How long we get to hear him depends on the Yankees...
A number of legendary MLB announcers are among the finalists for the Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick award.
The New York Yankees are still searching for John Sterling's successor, with Dave Sims and Rickie Ricardo emerging as the final candidates.
Longtime Seattle Mariners voice Dave Sims could be the one to finally take over the New York Yankees radio job permanently.
"It makes it like a special event doesn't it?"
"Sooner or later, you’ve got to let somebody else work! It’s just the way it is. I just think it’s wrong."
Sterling is expected to call a few regular season games to prepare for the playoffs.
"The ball is in their court."
"The fact that surprises me is that so many guys haven't hit."
Sterling will call the fourth and fifth innings of Tuesday's Yankees-Guardians game.
Rickie Ricardo is one of many voices to fill in on WFAN since John Sterling's retirement, but he has certainly earned the permanent gig.
You read that correctly.
"I should've announced it in spring training or before spring training."
"I think the kids are doing a great job. No problems."
A World Series run deserves to be narrated by the voice of the Yankees.
