“I’m a happy-go-lucky person, I like trying to keep a smile on my face 24-7,” Sterling said. “This is one of our main attractions of our ball park, so it’s kind of a high-quality place, it’s a fun place to be in.”
Over the course of sixteen years, Sterling has learned that baseball is more than just a job for him.
“Baseball is a good activity for me. It keeps me out of trouble, it keeps me wise, it keeps me tame,” he said. “Coming to watch baseball, and it’s America’s past time, it’s actually my past time too cause it keeps me motivated, it keeps me hyeped when I come into the stadium.”
But after sixteen summers, he decided that this season will be his last.
“I’ve said it for the last two seasons, that this’ll be my last season. It’s becoming a younger generation here. I done gave my due time to the City, to the baseball park.You know, I just think it’s time for me to move on and do some other things with my summers.”
Wit the playoffs fast approaching, so is the reality of the end of his time with the team.
“It probably won’t hit me until the playoff game to be honest. It hasn’t really sunk in yet. Will I shed a tear? I won’t lie, I probably will, because this has been ho me every summer for the last sixteen summers.”
After making countless memories, Sterling said he could describe his experience with the organization in two words.
“Totally awesome,” Sterling said. “Or I could say truly blessed. Either one of those statements would be A-Plus in my book.”
