Charley Steiner

Charley Steiner (born July 17, 1949) is an American sportscaster. From 2002 to 2004, he was an announcer for New York Yankees radio broadcasts, along with co-host John Sterling, but left in 2004 to join the Los Angeles Dodgers alongside Rick Monday . Previously he appeared as an anchor on the ESPN television show, SportsCenter, hosted a radio talk show at ESPN radio, and did play-by-play for ESPN baseball and college football broadcasts.

Originally from New York City, Steiner began his career as a newscaster for WIRL radio in Peoria, Illinois, in 1969. He broadcast his first sports show in 1971 for KSTT radio in Davenport, Iowa. After stints in Connecticut and Cleveland, Ohio, Steiner entered the New York broadcasting market in 1978 at WXLO radio.

Apart from his knowledge of baseball, Steiner is also known for his knowledge of boxing, a sport in which he covered some major fights for SportsCenter. He won a CableACE award for a program about Muhammad Ali and a Clarion award for his coverage of the Mike Tyson rape trial.

Steiner was involved in many, often comical, situations during his tenure with ESPN SportsCenter, including one broadcast when Carl Lewis sang the national anthem at a New Jersey Nets NBA game, and Steiner, amused by hearing Lewis sing, could not contain himself and began laughing during the SportsCenter show that night, not being able to stop himself until the show ended. His famous comment on the event was that the song had apparently been written by "Francis Scott Off-Key".

Steiner raised some eyebrows with his calling of Cal Ripken Jr.'s last game, with comments that made some question the legitimacy of Ripken's home run against the Seattle Mariners on Safeco Field that day. His comments during that game led some to think that Ripken might have been allowed by Mariners pitching to hit that home run, to '"go out in style".

Steiner was featured on one of the most famous SportsCenter television ads from their This is SportsCenter comical ads campaign. In 1999, amid fears of the Y2K situation, Steiner starred in a SportsCenter ad, where SportsCenter cast spoke about a contingency plan at ESPN's studios after Y2K, and Steiner was featured wearing a head band and screaming the phrase "Follow me to freedom!"

On August 9, 2004, Steiner returned to ESPN to co-host an "old school" version of SportsCenter with Bob Ley.
