Dodgers' Charley Steiner on Vin Scully, ESPN's Heyday, Working with John Sterling

Charley Steiner grew up 17 miles from Ebbets Field in the '50s, so he experienced a typical post-war childhood on Long Island entranced by Vin Scully and the "Boys of Summer." He eventually became the voice of his beloved Dodgers many years later after they had arrived in Los Angeles. In between dreaming of calling Dodgers games and actually doing it, he called Herschel Walker and the New Jersey Generals, and Jets games on WABC. He was an iconic anchor during SportsCenter's heyday on ESPN, then landed a job calling Yankees games on WCBS with John Sterling. He discusses reports that he and Sterling had friction, and his brilliant line, “Francis Scott Off Key” when Carl Lewis butchered the national anthem. Charley Steiner shares so many wonderful stories from an incredible career in broadcasting that began in Malverne, New York.
