Congrats to John Sterling on an amazing career. I've had the pleasure of listening to and working with John for decades. He is a major part of Yankee history and will be greatly missed.

Sterling announced his retirement on Monday, effective immediately, after 36 seasons calling Yankees games.

"I am a very blessed human being," he said in a statement.
