Do you think that john sterling and suzyn waldman will be back calling the yankee games in 2014 when the Yankees move to WFAN?

IMO, I hope the yankees will not bring those 2 back. I think the yankee fans want new people doing the games on radio. john sterling and suzyn waldman are not loved by everyone.
And, how would YOU know that, Julius? Are you a Yankee fan? Do you listen to the broadcasts? And what makes you think you know what fans of the team's radiocasts want?
...waiting for an answer...
...still waiting...
...I didn't think so.
Actually, Sterling and Waldman are approved by the Yankees and are employees of CBS Radio. So it doesn't matter what I think -- for the record, Sterling needs a play-by-play partner that can be groomed as a potential successor -- chances are very good they'll be back next year.
Sorry to disappoint you, Julius. Please stick to what you know, for crying out loud.

It was recently reported that attendance at ball games was the 6th-highest
in history this season. This, despite the obscene prices for attendance.
Pertaining to radio, the effect might trickle down for stations to stand pat with what
and who they have behind the microphones. It's a factor, anyway.

Personal observation, f w i w :
I liked the idea of adding Waldman when Michael Kay left. She knows
her sports and strategies and does the job as observent bystander quite
well. As a Mets fan I actually was warming up better to the Sterling-Kay
team than to the Mets announcers and finding them more entertaining.
But with the addition of Waldman, the new analyist, the tradition seems
to've continued -- to the point that I can say I enjoy Sterling's buffoonery.
Sometimes it's difficult to keep the scorecard -- my hobby -- free of eraser marks,
but it always had been like that with Rizzuto anyway
in history this season. This, despite the obscene prices for attendance.
