The 38-year-old has seen his hockey profile grow, with national assignments from TNT added to his schedule. Burke worked 12 games on the Yankees Radio Network as one of several fill-in announcers as Sterling took extra time off during the season.

"I think Sterling did really well with that. I don't think he fouled it up."

I can’t say that I blame Sterling for coming back to the booth. Seems like he should be there and now he will to witness some possible history. 

MLB Network will air live look-ins during each Judge at-bat until he breaks the record.

"I'm sure Ryan (Ruocco) graciously stepped aside. I also know that John and his ego wanted be in the booth and I don't blame him."

"He did not want to miss the chance to call some of the most significant home runs of Aaron Judge's historic season."

On Friday, August 19th the first 10,000 fans that get to the Yankees game will receive a bobblehead featuring John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.

With Sterling out of the booth for those games, opportunities to fill-in will present themselves to a few broadcasters. The opportunity is awesome, but so is the task of ‘sitting in’ for a legendary play-by-play announcer.

"You guys need to understand, this is my great white buffalo, if you will. This is where I got the spark for being a broadcaster."

“Sterling has clarified that this is not being forced on his by the Yankees.”
