When the New York Yankees offered legendary play-by-play announcer John Sterling with an 83-inch TV as a retirement current in April, followers weren’t impressed.

“Now, I am unable to consider all of the fuss and feathers about my retirement, and the Yankees staged a gorgeous day,” Sterling advised Jimmy Traina on a latest episode of the “SI Media With Jimmy Traina” podcast. “My children have been all there, and it was nice. I did not need any items!”
