Yankees broadcaster Dave Sims has announced that he will not participate in the Yankees versus Mets game due to laryngitis, which prevented him from performing effectively behind the mic. This marks the first time in his 23-year career in baseball that he has had to step away due to this illness. In his announcement, he expressed disappointment at missing the Subway Series finale, emphasizing his commitment to the role. Sims is in his inaugural year with the Yankees after replacing the legendary John Sterling, and his absence raises discussions regarding his initial performance in the position.
Anyone listening to Saturday's game on WFAN heard my voice on its way out. No amount of gargling, inhaling steam, hot tea with honey, or chicken soup has made the difference. First time laryngitis sent me to the IL in my 23 years calling baseball. Bummed to miss the rubber match of the Subway Series I. Go Yankees!
I've worked with Dave, great guy. We love Dave Sims, but I'm gonna call it out as I see it. You just got started as the Yankee announcer, and he's 40 games into his career as the Yankee announcer, and he decided to take off.
It's supposed to be the job of your life. If he had been here as long as Joe, then maybe it would be a different story.
