NEW YORK – There’s another major tribute to John Sterling in the works.
Beginning with their May 18 home game against Toronto, the Yankees will wear special uniform patches honoring the legendary radio play-by-play broadcaster who passed away Monday at age 87.
The circular patch features a microphone over a pinstriped background, with the famous interlocking N-Y logo and Sterling’s name.

According to the Yankees, the team will continue to honor Sterling by wearing his initials on the back of their caps until the next homestand, when the patches will debut. They’ll be worn throughout the 2026 season.
In his 36-year run as the radio Voice of the Yankees, Sterling broadcast five World Series championships and called 5,060 consecutive games from 1989-2019.
