Charley Steiner's Cancer Battle: A Story of Hope and Resilience

Longtime broadcaster Charley Steiner, known for his work with both the Yankees and Dodgers, has shared some good news. After a tough year dealing with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, he's officially in remission. This comes as the Dodgers and Yankees prepare to face off in the World Series — a event Steiner has covered for years. Steiner, now 75, has been a radio voice for the Dodgers since 2005. He started by covering the fourth to ninth innings, with the legendary Vin Scully handling the first part of the game. Over time, Steiner also filled in for TV broadcasts when needed. Before joining the Dodgers, he called Yankees games and worked at ESPN for over a decade.

This past year, Steiner has been away from broadcasting due to his health struggles. He's lost weight, been in constant pain, and has been using a wheelchair. Though he's missed being part of this season, including the upcoming World Series, he's staying positive. "It’s been tough, but I’m looking forward to next year, " he said. The Dodgers organization is also optimistic about his return. "He’s part of our family, and we expect him back next year, " said Lon Rosen, the Dodgers' VP and chief marketing officer. Steiner, always a hopeful spirit, is taking a page from Dodger fans' playbook: "Wait till next year? That’s me. That’s going to be my time. "
