Hector Vazquez Muñiz is a Puerto Rican television sportscaster and journalist and radio programs producer. Muñiz is the sports anchorman at Telemundo Puerto Rico's "Telenoticias Fin de Semana" ("Television News Weekend Edition"), which is transmitted on weekend days at 5 PM and 10 PM. A controversial host, he has been accused, among other things, of being racist. He also has a radio talk show named "A Swing Completo con Vazquez Muñiz".
Muñiz covers association football and volleyball games on Puerto Rican television, but he is best known for his coverage of baseball, and some of his best-known phrases are "Y se va, y se va, y se fue!" ("It's going! it's going! it's gone!", which he pronounces similar to Chris Berman's phrase of "Back, back, back, gone!") whenever someone hits a home-run, and "Y se les esta haciendo tarde!" ("It's getting too late for them") which he says when a baseball team is down by many runs on the scoreboard late in the game.
