In a statement released by Sportsnet, Martinez said Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics would be his last for "a little while" as he begins weeks of cancer treatment.
The veteran broadcaster's association with the Blue Jays dates back to 1981 when he began a five-year stint as one of the team's catchers. Martinez enjoyed a 17-year Major League Baseball career as player that also included stops with the Kansas City Royals and Milwaukee Brewers.
Take good care...l missed your voice broadcaster. God bless u.

It will never sound the same without Buck in the booth. Thanks for the memories.

His voice used to put me to sleep at night (I mean that in the nicest way) on long drives up to my cottage as a child. His voice was soothing to me
I always like to hear Buck's voice, hope he gets well soon.

I always laugh at the ppl who criticize him. I can tell they are either bandwagon or new fans because they never had to endure Jamie Cambell, Joe Carter or Fergie Oliver. Get well soon Buck you are one of the best.
