Will your fashion change in New York?nn**Sims:** [Laughing] All dwelling staff announcers are homers. I don’t suppose I ever mentioned, “We, us, them they usually.” However … when the Mariners have been successful, you may inform by the vitality and tone of the voice on who I used to be rooting for, which all people does. … You possibly can hear, “and the Mariners win the sport, 2-1!!” If that’s being a homer, so be it. … If you wish to go there, I’ll let you know what. I’m having enjoyable. It’s an ideal gig, an ideal life. That’s the way in which I roll.nn**MLB.com:** Your signature phrase is “Hey Now.” How did that come about?nn**Sims:** I grew up on American Customary music – Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra. I really like the music, “I Received The World On A String.” It was written in 1932 in the course of the melancholy and it was recorded by lots of people. I’m a Sinatra fan and it simply hit me. On the finish of the music, it goes, “Hey now, I’m so in love.” The opposite reference comes from Howard Stern and he used the catchphrase, Hey Now, so much [on his radio show]. Versus cussing or saying he hit the hell out of the ball, it simply hit me one evening. I mentioned it a number of instances, however the Mitch Haniger base hit [in 2021] was so joyous. I used to be so completely satisfied. It’s very efficient for me. It actually resonated with folks.”,”kind”:”textual content”},{“__typename”:”OEmbed”,”html”:”

In a latest telephone interview with MLB.com, broadcaster Dave Sims, 71, answered a variety of subjects, from his new gig because the radio voice of the Yankees to how his signature phrase, “Hey Now,” happened.
Dave Sims: My textual content messages approached 400. I really feel like I’ve 800-900 direct messages by way of Instagram and X. It has been phenomenal. The opposite factor that has been mind-blowing is, folks in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest have mentioned, “Love you. Bummed that you’re leaving. I couldn’t be happier for you. Go get ‘em. You’re going dwelling.” It doesn’t get a lot better than that.
MLB.com: You’ll be part of Invoice White because the second African American to do Yankees play-by-play on a full-time foundation. How vital is that this project for you?
Sims: It’s humorous you point out Invoice White. A producer in Philly that I do know referred to as me yesterday and mentioned, “You need to come to [Pennsylvania] and get an image with Invoice White.” I mentioned, “Heck, yeah. We’ll make that occur.” We’ll most likely do this after Thanksgiving.
Invoice is clearly certainly one of my heroes. When he was the Nationwide League president, he began making calls making an attempt to assist me get a giant league gig. To start with, Invoice was an ideal participant, and I loved him on these nice Cardinals groups. Then he came to visit to the Phillies. His first on-air gig was in Philly. I bear in mind they made him sports activities director [on WFIL-TV] they usually had a hockey recreation they usually made him name a hockey recreation. He didn’t know something about hockey. His baseball broadcasting profession? Neglect about it. Excessive marks. Why he’s not within the Baseball Corridor of Fame, I do not know. That’s simply impolite. He did it as a participant, president of the Nationwide League and longtime iconic broadcaster for the Yankees. It’s superior to observe within the footsteps of Invoice White. I couldn’t be extra pleased with that. It’s an unbelievable honor.
MLB.com: Your radio associate shall be Suzyn Waldman. This shall be a reunion of types as a result of each of you labored collectively on WFAN in the course of the late Nineteen Eighties and early ‘90s. How good is it to be collectively once more?
Sims: It’s going to be nice. She lined the Knicks once I was doing the Knicks pre- and postgame exhibits, in addition to doing the speak present with Ed Coleman. We might speak a number of instances every week in regards to the Knicks and the NBA. We had fun. We might needle one another. After which the connection would change into extra pleasant once I obtained the Mariners job in 2007. … Now we are able to do this baseball speak, private speak and all that great things. We’re actually going to be hanging out, and I’m wanting ahead to it.
MLB.com: How a lot are you wanting ahead to watching Aaron Choose frequently?
Sims: Choose is a good dude. After I noticed him in Might, I advised him I’m taking pictures for this gig. I advised him and Gerrit Cole individually they usually mentioned, “I hope you get it. We’re rooting for you.” Choose is a spectacular participant. He had an unlucky second [unable to catch a routine fly ball] in Recreation 5 [of the World Series], and that’s baseball. He is a great, caring and a terrific participant. Baseball-wise – oh, my goodness – he’s so good.
All of it suits into the large image being with the Yankees. It’s an iconic franchise. I do know there are lots of people who say, “They haven’t gained a World Sequence since 2009.” Guess what? You continue to concentrate [to them] day-after-day in the course of the baseball season.
MLB.com: In Seattle, you have been often known as a homer. Will your fashion change in New York?
Sims: [Laughing] All dwelling staff announcers are homers. I don’t suppose I ever mentioned, “We, us, them they usually.” However … when the Mariners have been successful, you may inform by the vitality and tone of the voice on who I used to be rooting for, which all people does. … You possibly can hear, “and the Mariners win the sport, 2-1!!” If that’s being a homer, so be it. … If you wish to go there, I’ll let you know what. I’m having enjoyable. It’s an ideal gig, an ideal life. That’s the way in which I roll.
MLB.com: Your signature phrase is “Hey Now.” How did that come about?
Sims: I grew up on American Customary music – Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra. I really like the music, “I Received The World On A String.” It was written in 1932 in the course of the melancholy and it was recorded by lots of people. I’m a Sinatra fan and it simply hit me. On the finish of the music, it goes, “Hey now, I’m so in love.” The opposite reference comes from Howard Stern and he used the catchphrase, Hey Now, so much [on his radio show]. Versus cussing or saying he hit the hell out of the ball, it simply hit me one evening. I mentioned it a number of instances, however the Mitch Haniger base hit [in 2021] was so joyous. I used to be so completely satisfied. It’s very efficient for me. It actually resonated with folks.
MLB.com: My first reminiscence of you was as an NBA author with the New York Each day Information. Do you ever take into consideration writing once more?
Sims: I’m placing out a memoir. I don’t know when that’s going to come back out. My spouse and I are writing that. [Now] I spend lots of time getting my exercises in and prepping for video games. I like writing, however I really like broadcasting. The writing chops developed once I was on the Philadelphia Inquirer and the New York Each day Information. They arrive into play day-after-day, crafting the narrative of a broadcast. So principally I’m writing on a regular basis. I’m not simply writing for print.
Sims: Yeah, man. It’s lots of enjoyable. We developed an on-air chemistry and rhythm. They’re getting assured, which I actually like. Nearly all people that comes on says, “That is so cool what you’re doing along with your sons.” I had an ideal relationship with my dad. I’ve an ideal relationship with my guys. It’s my Ben Cartwright [Bonanza] second.
MLB.com: What would you like Yankee followers to learn about you?
Sims: I lived in New York my complete skilled life. I’ve a basis in Philly, however my life is in New York and with a cease off in Seattle. I’m dwelling. That is my life. That is one heck of a possibility to place a ribbon on it. I’ll let you know what: I’m all in. Let’s go Yankees. I’m so wanting ahead to this.
