I saw this in the news, and since his name is often used in vain here I figured it was worth reporting.  smiley

Bob Costas is retiring as an MLB play-caller after a career that lasted more than 40 years.

Costas confirmed the decision to The Athletic but declined to offer a statement, telling Andrew Marchand that he "would prefer to address the decision and his MLB play-by-play career at a later date."

The final call of Costas' play-by-play career came at the end of Game 4 of the American League Division Series between the New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals. The Yankees defeated the Royals to move on to the American League Championship Series (which they'd also win).

Now that he's got some free time, I hope the guy joins a health club and beefs up a little.  Sheesh.

I was watching the Kill Bill movie and they have a truck in there called The Bob Costas Wagon.

Now maybe he can focus on sociopolitical commentary he was so apt to interject it sports insted of interjecting it into sports  that I might gave enjoyed watching had he not done so.
