I Think God Always Has The Best

So Much Happened (in 1968) It Was Hard To Keep Up With Everything. We Had Denny Mclain's Thirty-one Victories, Gates Brown's Great Pinch-hitting In The Clutch, Tom Matchick's Home Run To Beat Baltimore In The Ninth Inning, Then Daryl Patterson Striking Out The Side To Beat Them In The Ninth. Excitement Every Day In The Ballpark.

Baseball Is A Tongue-tied Kid From Georgia Growing Up To Be An Announcer And Praising The Lord For Showing Him The Way To Cooperstown. This Is A Game For America. Still A Game For America, This Baseball!

Also I'm A Part Of The People That I've Worked With In Baseball That Have Been So Great To Me, Mr. Earl Mann Of Atlanta, Who Gave Me My First Baseball Broadcasting Job.

I Had A Job To Do, And I Did It All These Years To The Best Of My Ability. That's What I'd Like To Leave Behind As I Finish My Final Game In Toronto.

Baseball Is A Spirited Race Of Man Against Man, Reflex Against Reflex. A Game Of Inches. Every Skill Is Measured. Every Heroic, Every Failing Is Seen And Cheered, Or Booed. And Then Becomes A Statistic.
