PITTSBURGH -- Bill Hillgrove is retiring as the play-by-play voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers after three decades on the job.
The team made the announcement on Thursday, though the 83-year-old will continue to be on the call for the University of Pittsburgh football and men's basketball teams.
Hillgrove replaced Jack Fleming as the team's play-by-play voice in 1994 and was there for every major moment in franchise history over the last 30 years, including Super Bowl titles after the 2005 and 2008 seasons.
"I have all of July (and) almost all of August to myself now," Hillgrove said.
