Mariners TV announcer Dave Sims was named WFAN’s new play-by-play broadcaster on Yankees games, the station announced Thursday
, confirming an earlier report from The Post that a deal was near.
“The radio voice of the Yankees is a storied position in the history of baseball,” said Chris Oliviero, New York Market President, Audacy in a statement. “From Allen and Barber to Rizzuto to Sterling, the names are synonymous with the pinstripes. Dave Sims is a worthy successor to that lineage. We are honored to have Dave join the incomparable Suzyn Waldman in the booth in the Bronx.”Sources told The Post that the Yankees approve of WFAN’s choice for him to succeed Sterling.
“It’s great to be home,” Sims said in a statement through WFAN. “What an honor to be part of the iconic Yankees franchise. New York is where it all started for me, and I can’t wait for Opening Day and to work with my good friend Suzyn!”Sterling, 86, retired in April this past season after 35 years on the job but returned to call the Yankees’ postseason run that lasted until the World Series.
