One of the original Blue Jays voices, Tony Kubek did color commentary for the team from 1977-1989.

"When I was asked to consider the job with the Blue Jays, I talked to Elston Howard, a teammate and great Yankee, who starred with the Triple-A, International League Toronto Maple Leafs. He said, 'You gotta take it, they're the best fans, a friendly city, they know their baseball.' Ellie was right." - Tony Kubek (quote from his Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame page)
