It's Been A Terrific Life.

Why The Fairy Tale Of Willie Mays Making A Brilliant World Series Catch, And Then Dashing Off To Play Stickball In The Street With His Teenage Pals. That’s Baseball. So Is The Husky Voice Of A Doomed Lou Gehrig Saying, ‘i Consider Myself The Luckiest Man On The Face Of This Earth.’

Baseball Is A Ballet Without Music. Drama Without Words.

The Greatest Single Moment Ive Ever Known In Detroit Was Jim Northrups Triple In The Seventh Game Of The World Series In St. Louis. It Was A Stunning Moment Because Not Only Were The Tigers Winning A World Championship That Meant So Much To An Entire City, They Were Beating The Best Pitcher I Ever Saw-bob Gibson.

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.

But Most Of All, I'm A Part Of You People Out There Who Have Listened To Me, Because Especially You People In Michigan, You Tiger Fans, You've Given Me So Much Warmth, So Much Affection And So Much Love.
