## Resource

The great John Sterling, the voice of the New York Yankees since the 1980s, has passed away at 87. There will never be another one like him. We pay our respects to a broadcasting legend. Then — Spirit Airlines didn't die because of fuel prices. They were broke long before that and a slightly higher fare might have saved them. No bailout. Finally — Iran is firing missiles and attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz despite a supposed ceasefire. The U.S. Navy just eliminated six of their fast boats. Is this ceasefire already over before it started? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support .
