Yankees announcer Ken Singleton and a farewell tour for class

Keeping it Going

Class act! What a voice! And a subtle sense of humor. Besides, a great ballplayer there for a stretch who brings that added wisdom to the booth, a-la- Coney and Leiter.

Personally will miss him, as will, surely, many Yankee fans. Who knows? Maybe Kay can convince him to stick around another year or two. Here’s hoping!

Very professional announcer. All class. Singleton will be missed.

Mr. Singleton will go down as one of the most beloved Yankee announcers. How could you not enjoy listening to a game of him and Coney out on the west coast?

At times you know you should be sleeping and other times are halfway there, but then you hear LOOK OUT!!! and you too are alert again and wide awake. Then for another inning and a half, they school you on the game of baseball. Before too long the game is over. Much respect.

Well Said

It’s great to see the outpouring of affection for Ken Singleton. He is all class and grace. He’s a pleasure to listen to in great part because he comes across as such a fine person. His insights into the game are always superb. And his playing day’s stories are both hilarious and a window into the human side of the game. Moreover, he’s evolved into a superb dramatic announcer bringing real excitement to the games he broadcasts. He’s been their best player-announcer since Bill White and the most beloved since Bobby Murcer.

And am sure I speak for many when I say, God bless you Mr. Singleton and may all your remaining dreams come true.

Love, love, love Ken Singleton as a broadcaster. Best in New York, in my opinion.

My mother, who is a fan in the sense that she’ll go to a game every few years and will occasionally stop and watch the game on TV if it’s a big game, loves Kenny because she saw him give apparently a very touching tribute to Bobby Murcer after he died.

Some years ago, Ken Singleton was the only announcer available for a Yankees game on YES. I don’t recall who was supposed to be the other announcer, or why that person was unavailable. Only two announcers had been scheduled to call the game, so Singleton was on his own. And, man, was he great! He handled the situation so that, if you weren’t paying close attention, you didn’t even realize he was the only announcer. He kept up a banter like there were two people in the booth … except he was the only one there.
