John Sterling’s kids reveal what it’s like to have the legendary Yankees announcer as a dad: ‘Unlike any other human’
NY Post
John Sterling’s iconic home run calls weren’t the greatest creations of the recently retired Yankee announcer.
That distinction goes to kids: 23-year-old triplets children Veronica, Bradford and Derek, and Abigail, 26.
The kids say they get their work ethic from their famous dad, who called 5,420 regular-season and 211 post-season Yankees games — including 5,060 consecutive from September 1989 to July 2019.
They tease their flip-phone-using dad for living “in his own fantasy land” filled with music, newspapers, books and every sporting event on TV.
“On the phone or whenever we see him he asks, “Are you guys happy and healthy?'” says Derek, a Ramapo College student named after Bomber great Derek Jeter.
“He is unlike any other human I’ve ever met,” notes Brad, who is in finance and living in Manhattan. “My dad is the Michael Jordan of not sweating the small stuff.”
Now that he’s back, Jalen Brunson can laugh about it.
