I Have A Great Faith In God

In Radio, They Say, Nothing Happens Until The Announcer Says It Happens.

Baseball Is The President Tossing Out The First Ball Of The Season. And A Scrubby Schoolboy Playing Catch With His Dad On A Mississippi Farm.

Whatever Happens, I'm Ready To Face It.

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.

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