Tom Cheek, 1939-2005

Anything I write in memory of this man would come out sounding inarticulate and would not be anything near the tribute he deserves. So, I'm simply noting his passing with a great deal of sadness and many happy memories. I also wish he had been elected to Cooperstown in the summer. While he would have received the news with typical humility, it would have been a well-deserved end to his baseball career and a fitting reflection upon his talent in the broadcast booth, as well as his incredibly caring and friendly nature.

He was the Voice of the Blue Jays and he will always be remembered.
