Kenneth Wayne Singleton (born June 10, 1947, in New York City) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder/designated hitter and current television announcer. Born in Manhattan and raised in nearby Mount Vernon, N.Y., Singleton played both baseball and basketball in high school, and also played baseball in the Bronx Federation League at Macombs Dam Park, across the street from Yankee Stadium. Out of Hofstra University, Singleton was drafted 3rd overall in 1967 by the New York Mets, with whom he began his career in 1970. Singleton played for the Mets through the 1971 season. In April of 1972, he was part of a package traded to the Montreal Expos for Rusty Staub. Singleton's best year of the three in Montreal was 1973, when he led the league in on-base percentage (one of nine top-ten finishes in that category over the course of his career) and collected 23 home runs, 103 RBIs and a .302 batting average (first .300 season). Following the 1974 season, he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles. During his ten years in Baltimore, Singleton played the best baseball of his career as the Orioles won two pennants, in 1979 and 1983, and won the 1983 World Series. His batting average of .328 in 1977, good for third in the league, was a career high, and he posted 35 homers and 111 RBIs in 1979, also the best totals of his career in those departments. He retired after the 1984 season. An All-Star in 1977, 1979 and 1981, he won the Roberto Clemente Award in 1982. His highest finish in MVP balloting was in 1979, when he finished 2nd to Don Baylor. He was third in 1977, behind Al Cowens and the winner, Rod Carew. Currently, Singleton is a commentator for the New York Yankees on the YES Network. He has also worked as a television announcer for Yankee games on the MSG Network, and worked as a television and radio announcer for the Expos. His famous calls include "This one is gone" for a home run and "Lookout!" for a hard hit foul ball into the crowd or dugout. His trademarks also include a detailed explanation of the infield fly rule, explaining how it turned the game into a "farce."
