New York Yankees

For the first time this year, the Braves are not No. 1 on our rankings. Plus, we dig into early-season player standouts for each team.

The 85-year-old Sterling, who had just kicked off his 36th season with the Yankees, announced his retirement on Monday.

Those who know and work with Sterling will miss his voice and youthful exuberance, but they're glad he gets to go out on his terms.

Now 85, Sterling has been on the mic for every Yankees home opener since the 1989 season.
