FOr those who don't know, Tom Cheek has been the voice of the Toronto Blue Jays, from the very first pitch in their franchise back in 1977, to last season 2004. He NEVER missed one game, 4306 straight Blue Jays games, he have been in the booth, until the suddden passing of his father, causing him to miss his first ever Blue Jays game. His most famous line "Touch 'em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life" in the 1993 World Series will always remain a historical line for Blue Jays fans. Tom has been battling brain cancer for a year and a bit now, and he passed away this past Sunday, Oct 9, 2005. For more information, check out www.tributetotom.com
