Dave Sims to Succeed John Sterling as Yankees Radio Broadcaster
Dave Sims, 71, is set to become the new radio play-by-play announcer for the New York Yankees, succeeding the retired John Sterling. Sims, who has been with the Seattle Mariners since 2007, will join Suzyn Waldman on the broadcasts. The deal, which is expected to be signed soon, is for two years. Sims was chosen over Yankees' Spanish language announcer Rickie Ricardo, marking a return to New York for Sims, who previously hosted a talk show on WFAN.
