In a major shake-up for New York Yankees fans, Dave Sims, the seasoned radio announcer known for his distinctive voice and engaging storytelling, is officially stepping into the role of the Yankees’ new radio voice on WFAN. For decades, fans have been accustomed to the voices of legendary announcers like John Sterling and Michael Kay, but Sims, who has spent years calling games for various sports networks, is now making his mark in the Big Apple.
Sims, originally hailing from the Pacific Northwest, brings with him a wealth of experience that spans beyond baseball. Having called NFL games for Seattle Seahawks and NCAA basketball for multiple networks, Sims’s versatility and passion for sports were clear when he took over the microphone for his first game as the new voice of the Yankees. His deep, resonant voice is a perfect fit for the high-energy atmosphere that the Bronx faithful are known for.
“It’s a dream come true for me,” Sims shared in a recent interview, clearly excited by the monumental shift in his career. “The Yankees are an iconic team with a rich history, and to be a part of that history is something I never imagined. New York is a special place, and it’s an honor to call games for the most storied franchise in sports.”
Sims’s arrival on WFAN marks a new era for the Yankees’ radio broadcasts. The station, known for its no-nonsense sports talk and passionate fanbase, is eager to see how Sims will bring his unique flair to the game. It’s clear that the relationship between Sims and WFAN is one that both sides see as a perfect fit, combining the station’s long-standing tradition of New York sports coverage with Sims’s fresh, yet experienced approach to calling games.
While it will take time for Sims to fully acclimate to the fast-paced, larger-than-life presence of New York City, his track record shows that he’s more than capable of adjusting to any challenge. The job at WFAN is not just about delivering game stats or breaking down plays; it’s about creating a connection with the audience and keeping them engaged throughout the highs and lows of a 162-game season.
Fans have already started reacting to Sims’s debut, praising his ability to capture the energy of the game while keeping the broadcast entertaining and insightful. One listener tweeted, “Dave Sims really brings a new vibe to the Yankees broadcasts—fresh, energetic, and authentic. I’m already hooked.”
The Yankees have always been a team with global appeal, and Sims is ready to further solidify their legacy by bringing the action directly into the homes of fans across the country, all while embracing the one-of-a-kind spirit of New York.
As the Yankees enter a new chapter in their storied history, Sims’s voice is sure to become a defining part of the team’s radio identity for years to come.
