May 17, 2002-Twins vs. Yankees (WCBS Radio)

Pulled himself out of a World Series line up. Never earned pinstripes.

Thanks for this upload. Now, all we need is the video copy of this epic game. And this was the start of the Yankees having the Twins' number that extends to this very day.

Thanks for posting!

Interesting to hear Charley Steiner, the analyst/play by play announcer. Prior to this season, he was a SportsCenter anchor who did his MLB baseball play by play on ESPN Radio and television. This year was the first time Charley Steiner worked a full baseball season (no minor league experience). Steiner replaced Michael Kay who moved to television.

The Sterling-Steiner team was together for 3 years. Then Charley went to the Dodgers and Suzyn Waldman replaced him as the analyst (no play by play at all)

Rest in peace WCBS 880

Stayed up late to see this through. Still frustrated by this one 🚮

I stayed up to listen to this entire entire game! I was 11 years old very tired after that one! I’m glad it was a Friday night. No school!

Thanks so much for posting this! So great meeting you in DC!

On the fourth anniversary of David Wells perfect game against Minnesota.

An ode to WCBS 880 🍻.
Still can’t believe the station is no longer delivering “Traffic and Weather on the 8’s”
