In a significant change for New York Yankees radio broadcasts, Dave Sims has been appointed to take over from John Sterling as the play-by-play announcer alongside Suzyn Waldman.
This transition was officially disclosed by WFAN on Thursday.
Sims, who expressed his enthusiasm about returning to New York, previously worked as a reporter for the New York Daily News before making a name for himself as a sports broadcaster.
He is stepping into the role after Sterling, who retired at the age of 86 in April, just a few games into what would have been his 36th season.
Although Sterling announced his retirement, he made a comeback in the final week of the regular season and participated in the postseason games.
At 71 years old, Sims has spent the past two decades providing play-by-play commentary for the Seattle Mariners.
This new position marks a significant and exciting chapter in his career, and fans are eager to see how he will contribute to the broadcasts for the Yankees moving forward.
