This petition is to have New York Yankees CBS radio announcers John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman removed from the airwaves.
They are two of the worst personalities to have calling a baseball game. Sterlings call antics and ego over shadow the actual game being played on the field and Waldmans nasally, earsplitting voice piercing through the radio is an annoyance only few can tolerate for so long.
Sterling needs to call a baseball game as it is being played. Too often have I listened to him give the wrong information, the wrong call, the wrong pitch count, the wrong amount of outs, getting my hopes up for a home run only to find out that it was a pop up to the outfielder, or even when an inning has ended. The stories he gives throughout the game do not pertain at all to baseball and it is a way for him to listen to himself talk. A perfect example of this would be the calls he makes after a Yankee player has hit a home run or has made a great play. The names he gives to these players is out of control and is an embarrassment. I feel as though I am listening to a Broadway show instead of a baseball game. An example would be when the second baseman Robinson Cano hits a homerun he yells out, Robbie Cano, dont you know! I was ok with the Sterlings home-run names for a few guys, i.e. Bernie goes Boom Bern Baby Bern or the Giambino is finebut its gotten absurd the past 5 years. You can bet on Betemit, Duncan dunks one, and Joba-Joba doo!! Now I ask you, how does this translate into calling a baseball game? Turn a Red Sox or a Met game on the radio and you hear baseball broadcast the way it should be. Sterling has one the best radio voices out there but his commentary and opinions are absurd and take away from the reason I am listening to the radio, its for the ball game not for a showman.
As for Suzyn Waldman..one word comes to mind, ANNOYING. She needs to go, far, far, away from the Lowes Broadcast booth. She does not have a voice for the radio and her comments and opinions are just as absurd as Sterlings. After last years over reacted comments, Roger Clemens is BAACK, Roger Clemens is in George Steinbrenners BOX and her breaking down with crying at the end of Joe Torres last game she should have been let go.
All I ask from my commentators is to discuss what is going on in the game, give me the stats and the play-by-play and maybe some comments here and there. We need new blood in there. Please, for the love of God and all that is good with the Yankees, this radio tandem is a disgrace and puts a black eye on the most successful franchise in ALL of sports. Please sign this petition and thank you for your time.

- John Sterling and his assorted broadcast partners, Michael Kay, Charley Steiner and Suzyn Waldman, have never ever done play by play broadcasting. They do conjecture by conjecture, opinion by opinion broadcasting. They are not reporters of the game, they are editorial writers and would be managers. In addition, they think they are to be a sports/baseball magazine on the air. Providing informataion which is irrelevant to the game at hand, for example, they will talk about what is happening in the inner workings of other baseball teams, other sports, basketball, hockey, football, horseracing, etc. all this irrelevancy while a Yankee game is in progress.

- Please, for the love of god, replace Waldman. She is the worst announcer on radio and makes listening to the game torture. I've stopped listening until she is gone.

- Sterling is a self centered egotistical madman who, ever since he was doing color on the Aaron Boone home run and wasn't able to make his high far & gone call, has not relinqushed the play by play mike since, save for a pitch or two when he comes back from the can. He thinks that he is the only person allowed to make a meaningful call during a game.

- It has become impossible to listen to these two. They are far and away the worst baseball broadcasters on the air. I cherish my XM Radio because it means that when the Yanks are away, I can listen to the game without listening to the constant stupidity and self-promotion that these two spew into the poor defenseless airwaves.

- yes he is 70 yrs of age, I remember when he was host of WMCA back in 1971, he was already in his 30's. Do you think you could land a job as a radio host in NY at the age of 21 like his biography says, ha
