CHICAGO -- Ken Singleton has been on the receiving end of many pleas to reconsider retiring since announcing last March that 2018 would be his final season in the Yankees' television booth.
His response to family, friends, fans and colleagues has been standard:
He wants to spend more time with his three young grandchildren and play more golf.
But when Singleton's wife recently reminded him how much he still loved calling games for the YES Network, he thought about it and came up with a compromise to delay retirement.
Singleton has decided to return for a 23rd season in 2019 on a reduced work schedule, NJ Advance Media has learned.
