The guy who called well over 4000 Blue Jays games has passed away after a long battile with cancer.

A sad loss for the Jays. Cheek meant to the Jays and their fans what Ed Whalen meant to us. Jays games just didn't sound right without him.

Cheek is a man who belongs in the hall of fame.

Very sad day. It was odd this entire season listening to the Jays without Tom Cheek in the booth.

Most of the time that Joe Carter's WS winning home run is played they use Joe Buck's call. But for my money Tom Cheek's call was perfect.

"Touch 'em all Joe. You'll never hit a bigger one".

RIP.

You're right.
