Buck called it straight, praised the game when it deserved it, and never talked down to the fans. He made wins sweeter, losses easier to swallow, and big moments feel even bigger. For a lot of us, Blue Jays baseball won’t ever sound quite the same without him.

Thank you, Buck, for the memories.

Well goddamn. For anyone who grew up watching the Blue Jays, this guy is a legend. Good luck, Buck.

A significant part of my integration into Canadian life has involved listening to Buck Martinez's color commentary. The distinct timbre of his voice and the cadence of his stories are seared into my experience of Jays games. Baseball color commentary is an art form, and Martinez was an artist.

In this country, Buck is to baseball what Bob Cole was to hockey and he should be spoken about with the exact same level of reverence.

I grew up listening to him call games on the radio before I even knew what baseball was. He was a gift to Blue Jays baseball and its fans.

I'm extra sad I'll never hear him talking about "Cam Shitler" again during Yankees games because he could never say his name right. Always made me laugh.

Buck Martinez is all that’s right about baseball. Voices like his are why the sport is so revered by fans like me. He will be missed but not forgotten. Impossible to replace.

In honour of Buck Martinez announcing his retirement as #Toronto #BlueJays commentator.

I give you the most badass play, he made as an active player.

Making a double play with a broken leg. 🤯

Congratulations to Buck Martinez on an amazing baseball career on and off the field. Buck has been the voice of the Blue Jays for my entire adult life and it was so great to have the home crew call all the postseason last year. I love seeing a guy go out on a high note. Happy retirement Buck!

In a career that's hit for the cycle, as a player, a manager and a broadcaster, Buck Martinez is quite simply Mr. Blue Jay. His voice, (like Tom Cheek's and Jerry Howarth's before him), his signature "get up ball, get up" was the backbeat to an era of Blue Jays baseball. Thank you Buck. Take a bow!

It was something special to get to listen to Buck and Dan call the World Series this past fall. Baseball is the best sport at making nostalgia, and that experience is going to stay with me. Thank you Buck Martinez for all the memories

Buck memories (both w my brother):

-Being part of the mob who took Yank Stad over during the rainy 2xheader in 2015 & getting an audible "Buck Martinez" chant on air.

-Meeting him after a Canadians game he was calling & getting an '86 Topps Martinez signed which we'd pulled from a pack THAT DAY.

I will need some time before I can put out my full thoughts about Buck Martinez. He (and making fun of him!) was such a huge part of my Blue Jays fandom and I will miss his voice in my living room.
