In 1990, my broadcast journey was just beginning in Albany NY. In 2000, I made it to ESPN Radio, hoping to break into our game coverage. In 2010, I was studio hosting our big games but hoping to get more PxP opportunities. In 2020, well, I’m living out my dream job. Blessed.

Very sad news. A constant piece of Cleveland baseball tradition for the last 5 decades. RIP John…
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of John Adams.
John has been with us since our time at Cleveland Municipal, banging his drum for nearly 50 years, bringing joy to fans and players alike.
John, you will be missed but your legacy will live on forever.

John Sterling took over the Yankees radio mic when I was in college. I cold-called him at a Milwaukee hotel in 1992 to ask if he’d come on my dumb radio show. And he did! He’s always been so kind to me over the years. Congrats on a HOF career John!
