John Sterling could come out of retirement to call Yankees playoff games
NY Post
John Sterling’s days in the Yankees radio booth may not be over, after all.
The longtime voice of the Bronx Bombers may return to the WFAN booth for the playoffs, The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reported Thursday.
Sterling, 86, is expected to speak with Chris Oliviero — president of Audacy New York, which runs WFAN — in the upcoming days about a potential postseason return.
“The ball is in their court,” Sterling told The Athletic. “They would have to ask. I would feel bad for the guys who have done the games all year.”
Travel was one of the reasons Sterling retired, and he would likely have to travel for road games to come back for the playoffs, The Athletic reported, adding he might call some regular-season games to warm up if a playoff agreement is reached.
Sterling retired on April 15, less than three weeks into the season, and the Yankees held a retirement ceremony for him on April 20.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
