The man who was calling a Phillies game the night Osama bin Laden was killed is walking away from Sunday Night Baseball.
After nearly 20 years of doing baseball games for ESPN, longtime announcer Dan Shulman is walking away from the booth after this season.
“Dan recently expressed his desire to modify his schedule to coincide with some personal life changes, and he has our full support,” ESPN senior vice president Mark Gross said in a statement to Philly.com.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch, Shulman said that he will be getting remarried next year and that the decision to walk away from baseball did not come from higher-ups at the network, which laid off about 100 on-air personalities back in April.
