Within seconds of the Yankees recording the final out of Mondayâs 12-1 win over the Orioles, John Sterlingâs signature victory call bellowed from Yankee Stadiumâs speakers.
âBallgame over,â Sterlingâs voice echoed. âYankees win. Theeeeee Yankees win!â
It was one last tribute to Sterling, who died at age 87 on Monday morning. At least for the day, anyway.
âIt drowned me out a little bit, happily,â said Aaron Boone, who has been shouting Sterlingâs famous words for years after the Bombers win. âIt was really good to hear.â
Boone added that he would like to keep hearing the radio legendâs call after Bronx triumphs.
âIâd love it. Right on into Frank,â the manager continued, referring to Frank Sinatatraâs âTheme From New York, New York,â which already plays after every win at Yankee Stadium.
Aaron Judge, who crushed a two-run homer in the first inning on Monday, seconded that notion.
âThat was great. I heard a lot of the fans singing along with it. It was a nice little touch there at the end,â the captain said. âItâd be a nice little tip of the cap to John and what he meant â so much â to this franchise and this fanbase. Itâd be pretty cool.â
A Yankees spokesperson said that they were not sure of any plans to continue using Sterlingâs call, which was hardly the only acknowledgement the 12-time Emmy Award winner received on Monday.
The Yankees also honored Sterling, their play-by-play man from 1989-2024, with a pregame ceremony that included a video, a moment of silence, and bouquets of flowers, which were laid at home plate by former booth partners Suzyn Waldman and Michael Kay.
âDefinitely seeing that tribute hit home because he loved the Yankees,â Judge said of Sterling. âHe loved this team, he loved this franchise, he loved the fans.â
The Yankees also had âJS,â Sterlingâs initials, stitched onto the backs of their caps. Those were made in a hurry, as the Yankees, through their partners at Legends Global, outsourced the job to Embroidery Kingz, a Bronx-based business.
âI walked in at some point today in my office and saw the âJSâ on the back of the hat, and I thought it was awesome,â Boone said.
John Sterling's final victory call was, 'Ballgame over. Yankees win. Theeeeee Yankees win!'
Aaron Boone expressed happiness at hearing Sterling's call and mentioned it drowned him out a little, indicating he would like to continue hearing it after wins.
The Yankees won the game against the Orioles with a score of 12-1.
John Sterling passed away at the age of 87.

The clubâs spokesperson said that the Yankees will likely keep wearing the Sterling hats for the âforeseeable future.â At some point, they expect an addition to the Yankeesâ jerseys.
âWeâre likely going to do something moving forward,â they said.
âHe was here 40 years,â added Waldman, who thought of Sterling as an older brother. âI hope thereâs at least an armband or a patch.â
Enshrining Sterling in Monument Park would be an even greater honor.
While it is a shame such a celebration did not occur while Sterling was still alive, he can still join other great Yankees broadcasters like Phil Rizzuto â who also played for the team â and Mel Allen. Iconic public address announcer Bob Sheppard also has a plaque in Monument Park.
While no decision is imminent, Yankees higher-ups present options for Monument Park at periodical meetings, according to the spokesperson.
Neither Waldman nor Kay, who also belong among Yankees greats, touched on the subject of Sterling getting into Monument Park on Monday. However, both endorsed the idea when Sterling retired in 2024.
âOf course,â Waldman said at the time when asked if sheâd like to see her partner in crime get in. âHeâs up there on that pantheon of Mel Allen and Bob Sheppard.
âFor all those years and to generations of people, [Sterling] is the voice of the Yankees. I would like to see him out there.â
âI canât speak for what the Yankees will do or wonât do,â Kay added. âBut obviously he measures up there with the non-baseball players that are out there like Mel Allen. Heâs been doing it for 36 years. So I would think that eventually heâll end up there.â
Sterling, meanwhile, wouldnât have turned down acceptance into Monument Park had he been given the chance.
âWell, I think if they say to you, âWeâre gonna put a plaque up in Monument Park,â you wouldnât say, âOh, no! Donât do that!ââ he said in 2024. âLook, anything that has happened to me now is all grist for my mill. I never, ever dreamt that Iâd be recognized.
âIf it happens, it happens.â
