BALTIMORE-- Ken Singleton really did plan on retiring after 22 years of calling Yankees games on television.

Yankees mailbag: Happ or Severino in Wild Card? McCutchen coming?

He wants to spend more time with his grandchildren.

Yankees Nation changed his mind, and two weeks after NJ Advance Media reported on Aug. 9 that Singleton would be returning in 2019 with a lighter work schedule, the final details to his new contract have been worked out.

"It's official," Singleton said Friday before working the Yankees' 7-5, 10-inning win over Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park.
