@BackAftaThis@KingZaun420 He was supposed to be chosen as their drummer but they went with Ringo.
He refused to get a Beatles hair cut stating. “My hair is perfect; You guys wish you had my hair!”
I had the honor of producing John’s first show on WFAN in 1987. He stood in for Pete Franklin.
Yes Stood! John would stand for 4 hours always nattily dressed always enjoying chatting with the listeners! May his memory be a blessing!
Here is Mike Francesa laughing hysterically at a couple of John Sterling's blown calls on the radio. It should be a classic Francesa eulogy later today.
RIP John. 🙏
This is great Z..I loved the ride we went on in 1996 on Mike and Dog! Everybody (except dog) hopped on the Pink Caddy and we started the “Montage” 3 minutes of All the way to the wall-Bern Baby Bern-it is high! Credit bored Op @SamoJeff . Someone should play that today at FAN!
RIP John Sterling.
A NY icon & baseball legend. He made listening to baseball fun & the job meant everything to him.
In 2016 he left me this voicemail when I was trying to get him on the show. I saved it b/c it felt like he was doing PBP trying to arrange a time to come on.

Did he skip over the 1st base line on way to mound? Just like he would skip over the sales dept on way into studio. Some idiosyncrasies don’t change!
@Barrett_Media@WFAN660@MikeFrancesa Been saying this forever! Spending power on big ticket items belongs 40-72 Demos need to change as life expectancy grows!
@NYRangers@HowieRose@Mets My two least favorite moments in Rangers history:
1) The Tasmanian Devil Deal: The late Joe Zanussi trade for Carol Vadnais!
2) Howie going to the Islanders
@WFANmornings@7BOOMERESIASON@GioWFAN@ZachGelb Watching @GaryWoodland today is what sports is all about! The emotion-the passion-the fans- his wife-his journey-his caddy—truly one of the great moments I have ever witnessed in my 45 years covering and watching sports! So great!
@ZachGelb@WFANmornings@7BOOMERESIASON@GioWFAN This D-2 Baseball game makes the 64 Phillies collapse seem like a walk in the park; Down 12 comedy of errors walkoff Salami!
