Sterling’s Farewell

John Sterling, the Yankees’ radio voice for 36 years, died in early May 2026, prompting silence and a flower tribute before the Orioles game.
The Yankees added his initials to caps, placed a patch on jerseys for 2026, and played “The Yankees win! Theeee Yankees win!” after the May 5 win.
