John Sterling, the iconic and theatrical radio voice of the New York Yankees, whose extravagant and individualized home run calls became legendary, has died at the age of 87. The team and radio station WFAN confirmed his passing on Monday.
Sterling's death occurred at a New Jersey hospital, following heart bypass surgery he underwent this past winter. He had been receiving care from healthcare aides at his Edgewater, New Jersey, residence after the procedure.
