This ends my 31st year behind the mic calling @Yankees games. I’ve been so fortunate to have been able to broadcast so many great moments over the last three-plus decades. It has been one of the joys of my life to live out a childhood dream. Thanks for watching/listening.

My last look out at the field as I left the booth tonight. Please know I never lose sight of the fact that I’m just a kid from the Bronx living out a childhood dream. This was my 30th (!) year behind the mic and reality has far exceeded the dream. Thanks for watching.

For what’s at stake, that’s one of the worst innings you will ever see. Five runs. All unearned. Mind boggling.

This game today will finish my 27th year broadcasting New York Yankees game. Every single day has been a dream come true for a kid from the Bronx. Not too many people are luckier in their professional lives. I thank you for being part of the ride.

As I sit here @yankeestadium , I find it hard to believe I just finished my 29th(!) year broadcasting the @Yankees games. I want each and every one of you to know that I realize I am still the 10-year kid from the Bronx living his dream. Thanks for watching. Stay safe.

I’ve been covering baseball for 36 years and the season .@TheJudge44 is having is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Take hm off the @yankees and they’d have trouble making playoffs. Take Ohtani off @Angels and they still would be on the outside looking in. Most valuable?.

Just wanted to tell everyone what is going on. I went to see a specialist in Boston today and he recommended I have surgery to correct an issue with my vocal cord. I will have the surgery next week and will be out for about a month, starting with today’s game and radio show.

I would like to thank all of those sending their condolences on the passing of my uncle, Danny Aiello. He was a terrific man, self made, coming from nothing to be an Academy Award nominated actor. He loved his family dearly, adored his wife of 64 years, my Aunt Sandy.

I saw his first pitch and his last pitch and most of the pitches in between and he was the greatest relief pitcher I’ve seen. In fact, he might have been the best pitcher I ever saw. Today, Mariano Rivera takes his place as part of forever in Cooperstown. Congrats, Mo.

I think it’s tiring when losses are blamed on umpires calls because there is so much that goes on before and usually after but the strike 3 call on Odor was inexcusable and disgraceful. To make that call on national TV in the bottom of the ninth is ineptitude at its finest.

Amazing what a big moment in sports can do. With one swing, @TheJudge44 made so many people happy (well, at least @yankees fans). Incredible the way a good shock to the senses moves people no matter how good or bad their day was. Thanks for those that enjoyed it on @YESNetwork .

Great decision by @espn bringing @dcone36 into the Sunday Night booth. The country will learn what @yankees fans have known for years: he is the best analyst of any sport. Period. Old school. New school. Funny. Irreverent. The whole package. And he’s also still with @YESNetwork !.

Consider this: Judge misses a third of the year, Didi essentially misses two months (one injury, one couldn't hit). Montgomery out for year. Chapman DL, zero production out of Bird, Gray Ineffective, under .200 by Sanchez, projected 3B doesn't play. = 100 wins. Remarkable.

I am so very sad that my friend @29alltime announced today that he is retiring after tomorrow’s game. He is simply a wonderful man. Kind, giving, and the ultimate gentleman. My eyes are watery as I write this. I wish him nothing but love but I will miss working with him so much.

Please remember this: the Yankees treated a player, ARod, who was suspended for a year and threatened to sue them and the sport 1000x better than the Giants today treated an organizational icon in Eli Manning. Frankly, it is mind boggling. Mara and Tisch should be ashamed.

Sanchez jogging out of the box is unacceptable. If you arę healthy enough to płay, then you have to bust it. When you let it go on for so long, it will eventually bite you. It just did.

Honestly, I’m a bit dubious on this strategy. You just wasted García, who can pitch a full, effective game, for one inning just so you control the lineup composition. Could work out, but it’s a bit too cute to use a top flight starter as a full fledged opener.

We have lost the greatest broadcaster who ever lived as Vin Scully passed away Tuesday evening. Every game was a masters class as he turned an inning into poetry. And as great as he was, he was just as nice. Class, elegance and grace were all part of his humble but regal being.

Can I please make one thing clear about the rainout last night? The @Yankees and the @CleGuardians had NOTHING to do with the decision. All playoff games are in the hands of @MLB . There is no secret cabal where teams decide to postpone a post season game for their advantage.

If Bregman can carry his bat to first base then Soto has every right, and more, to carry his to first base. We are in a different world and the unwritten rules have been erased, so Soto answered Bregman’s showboating the best way possible.
