Buck Martinez proves how great he is after kind gesture to Blue Jays fans

"Jack Graney and I had an awful lot in common," said Martinez. "He was a former player that went into the broadcast booth for the Cleveland Indians and actually broadcast longer than he played, much like myself. I was fortunate that at the time, that TSN offered me the opportunity to get into television [in] 1987 and I thought, wow, it would be something. I was fortunate to have many great people around me that helped me." "It's a wonderful community, obviously, it's a lot like Cooperstown in New York. To have my family, my wife, some special friends here to share this day with me, and the entire weekend, it's been very special. The Canadian Hall of Fame did a great job of making us feel honored."

In case you're wondering what kind of guy Buck Martinez is.
