"This ends my 31st year behind the mic calling Yankees games" - Longtime play-by-play broadcaster Michael Kay says he's fortunate to have been able to broadcast so many great moments in Yankees history

New York Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay has penned a touching tribute after completing 31 years behind the microphone for the team.

In a tweet, Kay expressed his delight at having covered Yankees games for over three decades.

"This ends my 31st year behind the mic calling @Yankees games. I’ve been so fortunate to have been able to broadcast so many great moments over the last three-plus decades. It has been one of the joys of my life to live out a childhood dream. Thanks for watching/listening."

Kay was the voice of the YES Network as he covered slugger Aaron Judge's historic 62nd homer of the season against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday.

“High fly ball! Deep left! There it goes! Soaring into history! He’s done it! He has done it! 62! Aaron Judge is the American League single season home run leader. The AL King! Case Closed!”

Kay admitted that he was planning to capture the magnitude of the moment and wanted a certain phrase, which would forever be etched in history.

“I don’t plan calls, but the one thing I wanted to get in was certainly ‘case closed.' I just kept thinking ‘Judge,’ and this puts the home run record to rest in the American League, so I wanted to end it with ‘case closed,’ he told the Daily News.

"That I knew, but everything else plays off of where the ball is, and it wasn’t one of those majestic home runs that you knew right away, so there had to be some hesitation.”

The historic night was telecast on the YES Network with over 933,000 viewers in the New York area.

Interestingly, Michael Kay also called Derek Jeter’s 3,000th hit in the 2001 World Series.

After more than three decades of commentary, Kay doesn't look like slowing down anytime soon as the Yankees move to the postseason.
