John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman had that special sort of radio relationship where they would often finish each other’s sentences, or more precisely, each other’s lyrics.
They might have been announcing Yankees games, but that would not prevent them from dipping into musical theater, a passion for both of them.
“It’s something sort of grandish,” Sterling might say on the air, using one of his signature phrases to describe a great play by the former outfielder Curtis Granderson, or perhaps it was a reference a grand slam someone had hit.
“I just don’t want to do any more work,” he said Monday on WFAN.
“I’ve worked for 64 years, and in July I’ll be 86, so let’s face it, my time has come.”
