I know it is the fans that are responsible for me being here. I`ve always tried in each and every broadcast to serve the fans to the best of my ability.
My whole philosophy is to broadcast the way a fan would broadcast.
It`s the fans that need spring training. You gotta get `em interested. Wake `em up and let `em know that their season is coming, the good times are gonna roll.
I knew the profanity used up and down my street would not go over the air... So I trained myself to say `Holy Cow` instead.
You know they`re not going to lose 162 consecutive games.
I`ve only been doing this fifty-four years. With a little experience, I might get better.

When I die, I hope they don`t cremate me `cuz I`ll burn forever.
I`ll tell you what`s helped me my entire life. I look at baseball as a game. It`s something where people can go out, enjoy and have fun. Nothing more.
Now, you tell me, if I have a day off during the baseball season, where do you think I`ll spend it? The ballpark. I still love it. Always have, always will.
