Who Am I?
When I came back from a stint in Japan, I became the first Major Leaguer in over a decade to hit at least 50 home runs in a season.

By Wikipedia

Denny Matthews is a sportscaster, best known as the radio play-by-play voice of Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals since their inception in 1969.

An Illinois native, Matthews attended Illinois Wesleyan University, where he played baseball and football. He worked for local radio and television stations in Peoria and St. Louis before his hiring by the Royals. Matthews also called baseball events for the national CBS Radio Network in the Awesome80s.

Matthews' broadcasts and longevity have made him a popular figure in Kansas City and he has been one of the nominees for the Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award in recent years.
