I Had A Job To Do, And

A Tall, Thin Old Man Waving A Scorecard From The Corner Of His Dugout. That's Baseball.

I Praise The Lord Here Today. I Know That All My Talent And All My Ability Comes From Him, And Without Him I'm Nothing And I Thank Him For His Great Blessing.

I Think Once You Start As An Announcer, You Have To Decide What Kind Of Approach You're Going To Have. I Decided Very Early That I Was Going To Be A Reporter, That I Would Not Cheer For The Team. I Don't Denigrate People Who Do It. It's Fine. I Think You Just Have To Fit Whatever Kind Of Personality You Have, And I Think My Nature Was To Be More Down The Middle And That's The Way I Conducted The Broadcasts.

Baseball Is A Rookie, His Experience No Bigger Than The Lump In His Throat As He Begins Fulfillment Of His Dream.

I Think If You Checked The Attendance Records Of All The Announcers, You'd Find A Lot Better Record Than You Would Of Anybody Else In Any Other Business Because We Love The Game And Have A Passion For It.
