John Sterling will un-retire and return to the Yankees’ radio booth for the team’s 2024 postseason run, and his decision faced some detractors.
Giannotti, who co-hosts morning drive alongside Boomer Esiason on WFAN , the Yankees’ flagship network, disputed the idea that Sterling was unfairly costing rising broadcasters Justin Shackil and Emmanuel Berbari with his decision.“I thought it would happen. I wanted it to happen. It did and I think it’s the right thing to do and I think that anybody who criticizes it is off the mark..
“This is different in the way that he left. It was a surprise. Nobody expected it when it happened, and the guys who have been calling the games, especially the younger kids and Justin Shackil and Emmanuel Berbari, got an opportunity that fell into their laps…They got to call a ton of games.
Giannotti stressed that WFAN’s parent company, Audacy, called Sterling and asked if he’d like to return as opposed to the other way around.Gregg Giannotti, pictured in March of 2024, defended John Sterling amid backlash of the 86-year-old announcer returning to the Yankees’ radio booth.Francesa and Russo reunited on Thursday to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the start of their iconic program in WFAN afternoon drive.
