Saunders: George Frazier bowing out of booth at season's end

George Frazier, after 19 seasons and more than 1,800 games, will say goodbye to Root Sports and Rockies fans Oct. 4, when he will be at AT&T Park in San Francisco for the Rockies' final game of the season.

"I'll miss all things Rockies," said the veteran broadcaster, who lives in Tulsa, Okla. "But it's time. After 28 years (overall) in broadcasting booths, I want a new challenge."

Frazier, 60, made his decision a year ago, telling Root Sports management that he didn't want to renew his contract after this season.

"I'm not going to hibernate on my front porch in Tulsa," Frazier said.
