At 4 am this morning, as I laid in a deep slumber, I was called to action by my wife who had discovered a spider the size of a half dollar in the bathroom. Without hesitation I arose to combat the intruder. Claire handed me the slant board I’ve been using for rehab, and I immediately knew the spider had no chance. It took but 1 attempt to strike down my opponent. I received hugs and kisses for my bravery and fell back asleep with confidence. Have a day gentlemen. 🕷️
We are saddened by the passing of former New York Yankees broadcaster John Sterling.
Through his unique style and passionate play-by-play calls, Sterling endeared himself to generations of players and fans as radio voice of the Yankees from 1989 to 2024.
His signature punctuation of Yankees victories included calling the final out of five World Series championships.
Sterling’s seven-decade broadcasting career also included stints with the Atlanta Braves and Hawks, the New York Nets and Islanders, and the Baltimore Bullets.
He was 87 years old.
Dearest mother —
My heart is full and my neck beard spirited to share with you my latest tintype for the mantle. My countenance was captured by Gen. Madden. I feel it is most glorious. Please inform the horses. I know seeing me so regal will fill them with delight.
