Buck Martinez, the longest-serving Toronto Blue Jays baseball broadcaster, announced Friday morning that he has called the final game of his career.

Martinez, 77, said in a statement issued by Sportsnet that he would not return for the coming season.

He had been a part of Blue Jays baseball for about 38 of the team’s 49 seasons, first as a player and then as a broadcaster, calling more than 4,000 games over the course of his career.

“It’s hard to believe I came to Toronto in a trade in May of 1981, thinking that would be the end of a very good career. Little did I know that I still would be associated with the Blue Jays through the 2025 season,” he said in the statement.
