This ends my 31st year behind the mic calling @Yankees games. I’ve been so fortunate to have been able to broadcast so many great moments over the last three-plus decades. It has been one of the joys of my life to live out a childhood dream. Thanks for watching/listening.

My last look out at the field as I left the booth tonight. Please know I never lose sight of the fact that I’m just a kid from the Bronx living out a childhood dream. This was my 30th (!) year behind the mic and reality has far exceeded the dream. Thanks for watching.

This ends my 32nd year broadcasting @Yankees games. I never take for granted how lucky I am that this is the home office. Thanks for watching, everybody.

This is the finish of 34 years in the booth broadcasting @Yankees games. Ten years with John Sterling on radio and the last 24 at the @YESNetwork . I never take for granted how blessed I’ve been to live my childhood dream. Thank you all for for watching. I appreciate each of you!

For what’s at stake, that’s one of the worst innings you will ever see. Five runs. All unearned. Mind boggling.

The @yankees standing in centerfield, stopped what they are doing, and watched Derek Jeter’s Hall of Fame speech. Special moment.

This game today will finish my 27th year broadcasting New York Yankees game. Every single day has been a dream come true for a kid from the Bronx. Not too many people are luckier in their professional lives. I thank you for being part of the ride.

As I sit here @yankeestadium , I find it hard to believe I just finished my 29th(!) year broadcasting the @Yankees games. I want each and every one of you to know that I realize I am still the 10-year kid from the Bronx living his dream. Thanks for watching. Stay safe.

I’ve been covering baseball for 36 years and the season
@TheJudge44 is having is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Take hm off the @yankees and they’d have trouble making playoffs. Take Ohtani off @Angels and they still would be on the outside looking in. Most valuable?

As another @Yankees season is in the books I want to thank all of you for following along on @YESNetwork . It has been 28 years behind the microphone for me and it’s been an honor and privilege for a kid from the Bronx to live his childhood dream with you. See ya in 2020.

Indulge me as I share this pic from yesterday. This was the reaction of my kids after I said "see ya" following the Hicks home run. This will still make me smile 20 years from now.

Just wanted to tell everyone what is going on. I went to see a specialist in Boston today and he recommended I have surgery to correct an issue with my vocal cord. I will have the surgery next week and will be out for about a month, starting with today’s game and radio show.

I would like to thank all of those sending their condolences on the passing of my uncle, Danny Aiello. He was a terrific man, self made, coming from nothing to be an Academy Award nominated actor. He loved his family dearly, adored his wife of 64 years, my Aunt Sandy.

Would like to thank all who watched @yankees baseball on @YESNetwork this year. As I finish my 28th year broadcasting @Yankees games I never have forgotten how lucky I am to be living out a childhood dream. Thanks for watching everyone. Enjoy the postseason.

I saw his first pitch and his last pitch and most of the pitches in between and he was the greatest relief pitcher I’ve seen. In fact, he might have been the best pitcher I ever saw. Today, Mariano Rivera takes his place as part of forever in Cooperstown. Congrats, Mo.

Hey, @Yankees Universe, any complaints about @GerritCole45 in this series? Just wondering. Also, do you let him go batter to batter in the 8th?

You will not find a better person in sports than @AaronBoone so whether you’re a @yankees fan or not, send all good thoughts toward Florida today as Boone goes in to have a pace maker installed. Thinking good things.

I think it’s tiring when losses are blamed on umpires calls because there is so much that goes on before and usually after but the strike 3 call on Odor was inexcusable and disgraceful. To make that call on national TV in the bottom of the ninth is ineptitude at its finest.

Amazing what a big moment in sports can do. With one swing, @TheJudge44 made so many people happy (well, at least @yankees fans). Incredible the way a good shock to the senses moves people no matter how good or bad their day was. Thanks for those that enjoyed it on @YESNetwork .

Great decision by @espn bringing @dcone36 into the Sunday Night booth. The country will learn what @yankees fans have known for years: he is the best analyst of any sport. Period. Old school. New school. Funny. Irreverent. The whole package. And he’s also still with @YESNetwork !

Consider this: Judge misses a third of the year, Didi essentially misses two months (one injury, one couldn't hit). Montgomery out for year. Chapman DL, zero production out of Bird, Gray Ineffective, under .200 by Sanchez, projected 3B doesn't play. = 100 wins. Remarkable.

I am so very sad that my friend @29alltime announced today that he is retiring after tomorrow’s game. He is simply a wonderful man. Kind, giving, and the ultimate gentleman. My eyes are watery as I write this. I wish him nothing but love but I will miss working with him so much.

Mel Stottlemyre was class personified. What a battle he waged with multiple myeloma. 20 years ago he was given about 5 years. He never stopped fighting. RIP.

That’s it for my 32nd year in the Yankee booth. Each season, each game, each inning has been the honor of a lifetime for this kid from the Bronx to bring to you. From all of us at the @YESNetwork , we thank you for watching.

Come on! Make it make sense. MLB has to get involved. This is an awful look and a terrible thing to do to a terrific broadcaster. New York fans of both teams are so lucky. Neither ownership group ever censors the @Mets or @Yankees booth. The truth should never be penalized.

Tried to make it home from Stadium because my house is flooding and the kids are scared. Couldn’t find a route that was not flooded. I eventually found a safe haven at my alma mater and will wait it out at Fordham. Don’t try to drive. Please.

Sincere love and big time props go out to my friend John Sterling, who will finally take a well deserved weekend off to be ready for the second half of the season. 30-plus years without missing a game because of illness is amazing. Get some rest, my friend.

I did a “tryout” game with @CameronMaybin about a month ago and he was incredible. First time he had a headset on and he was a natural. Get ready @Yankees fans because he is going to be a TV star. Yes, he’s that good. @YESNetwork .

I’m sitting here watching my son in a 6 and 7 year old baseball league and he just started a triple play at first base and I’ve got to admit that I’m kinda geeked to a somewhat out of proportion level.

Want to thank @espn for the opportunity to do the Sunday Night baseball megacast with @arod . Will be different and hopefully irreverent and fun. Most Importantly have to thank the @Yankees and my bosses at @YESNetwork for allowing it to happen. Let’s do it!

Well, after avoiding Covid for two years, all the while being extra careful, I have tested positive. Feel like I have a bad cold now and hoping this is as bad as it gets. Wanted to post this so you know why I am not on @TMKSESPN @TMKSonYES today. Stay safe everyone.

I’m still curious as to why we have nothing like this from deGrom. Odd.
My family and I would like to thank the entire @Mets organization for 2022. It was an amazing year filled with friendships we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We fell short of what we wanted, but I am beyond proud of what we accomplished. Wish y’all nothing but the best!!

Please remember this: the Yankees treated a player, ARod, who was suspended for a year and threatened to sue them and the sport 1000x better than the Giants today treated an organizational icon in Eli Manning. Frankly, it is mind boggling. Mara and Tisch should be ashamed.

Sanchez jogging out of the box is unacceptable. If you arę healthy enough to płay, then you have to bust it. When you let it go on for so long, it will eventually bite you. It just did.

I guess I will say he pitched great. No excuse needed. A stud outing and he was betrayed by his defense, too, costing him about 15 extra pitches. How bout you, Don?

Just wanted to thank all the viewers of @Yankees baseball on @PIX11 for hanging in there through my vocal issues tonight. I’m hoping I didn’t ruin the experience for anyone and I hope to be back close to normal for Sunday’s game on @YESNetwork . Have a wonderful night.

Honestly, I’m a bit dubious on this strategy. You just wasted García, who can pitch a full, effective game, for one inning just so you control the lineup composition. Could work out, but it’s a bit too cute to use a top flight starter as a full fledged opener.

Can I please make one thing clear about the rainout last night? The @Yankees and the @CleGuardians had NOTHING to do with the decision. All playoff games are in the hands of @MLB . There is no secret cabal where teams decide to postpone a post season game for their advantage.

We have lost the greatest broadcaster who ever lived as Vin Scully passed away Tuesday evening. Every game was a masters class as he turned an inning into poetry. And as great as he was, he was just as nice. Class, elegance and grace were all part of his humble but regal being.

If Bregman can carry his bat to first base then Soto has every right, and more, to carry his to first base. We are in a different world and the unwritten rules have been erased, so Soto answered Bregman’s showboating the best way possible.

That was a magnificent, big boy performance by @GerritCole45 . 108 pitches, going two outs into the 7th in a must-win game. His only mistake was not covering first in that five (unearned) run fifth.
