And good for Brendan Burke, paying homage to John with that call of the fourth #Isles goal. Pitch perfect.

Column: the #Knicks have already overcome a lot and have overachieved all year. But it would be an insult to them — and they’d take it as such — to believe they shouldn’t honor the No. 2 seed, and maximize the chance ahead of them. nypost.com/2024/04/15/spo…

This was one of the most fun columns I’ve ever done, almost five years ago, walking with John Sterling through the machinations of creating a home run call. #Yankees nypost.com/2019/04/24/joh…

Column: Doc Gooden and Gary Carter couldn’t have been more different but forged a lifetime friendship that grew even stronger long after both left the #Mets . Sandy Carter, Gary’s widow, knew she had to be there Sunday when the team retires Doc's No. 16. nypost.com/2024/04/13/spo…

Reggie Miller just said that up 2 with 2.7 seconds to go you must miss the second free throw if you make the first. “That closes the door,” he said.

Um, Reggie? Going up two scores with 2.7 closes the door.

For me, John Sterling will forever be the man whose signature call of “ISLANDER GOAL! ISLANDER GOAL!” brought so much happiness to me in the days before we had cable TV. That I grew up to call him a friend is one of the many stunning blessings I’ve received in this career.

Column: we may find out later that it would’ve been better for the #Knicks to finagle Game 82. But the Knicks are not finaglers. They try to win every game they can. It’s who they are and they weren’t about to change that in coming back against the Bulls. nypost.com/2024/04/14/spo…

Vac’s Whacks: A lot of times changing coaches midyear does little except scratch a nervous GM’s itchy trigger finger. What Patrick Roy has done with the #isles has done may well land him with these seven best turnaround artists in New York history. nypost.com/2024/04/13/spo…

Well that was something. #Knicks

Teamwork for literacy enhancement!

Thank you Mike Vaccaro for mentioning #juliusrandle ’s “30 for 3” challenge in yesterday’s New York Post.

PK Kelly “Starters didn’t crack 30 minutes.”

What was the score when they left?

ICYMI, Column: the fate of the #Knicks and the Sixers will depend on a rematch between David (Jalen Brunson) and Goliath (Joel Embiid), the dueling heartbeats on either side. nypost.com/2024/04/18/spo…

Howie Rose Mike Vaccaro Wasn’t it also M Donald Grant responsible for trading the franchise Tom Seaver?

Mike Vaccaro Brendan Burke I used to love how John was on a first name basis with the players when he was calling the game. Denis, over to brother Jean, back to Denis, shootingggggg, GOAL! ISLANDER GOAL! ISLANDER GOAL! #ISLES

Mike Vaccaro You must have seen my post 😉

CBS, apparently.

We often allude to the huge mistake the Mets (M. Donald Grant) made in not recognizing Whitey Herzog’s value and potential. ⁦Mike Vaccaro⁩ does a splendid job of explaining it all, including further evidence of Grant’s dastardliness. #stuffedshirt . nypost.com/2024/04/16/spo…
