RIP to the in-stadium voice of Cleveland baseball.
Bob was one of the good guys. I did a story on him for a HS journalism class in 2000 (his favorite name to announce: Shigetoshi Hasegawa), and he couldn't have been more gracious. Always enjoyed seeing him in the press box. Bob loved his job and fans loved him.

It is with great sadness we share the news that our longtime public address announcer, Bob Tayek, has passed away today. For nearly three decades, Bob was the voice of Progressive Field, welcoming generations of fans to Cleveland baseball with warmth, professionalism and a presence that became part of the ballpark experience. Please keep Bob’s family, friends and all who worked alongside him in your thoughts during this difficult time.
