With The Giants I Broadcast The Debut

Wheaties Was The Big Sponsor In Those Days (1940s). They Sponsored Almost All The Baseball Games In The Majors And The Minors. That Was A Lot Of Wheaties. I Think There Were Twenty-four Boxes In A Case And Some Of These Guys Were Hitting Twenty-five And Thirty Home Runs A Season. We Had A Dog In Those Days Named Blue Grass And The Players Used To Give Us Their Wheaties For Him. Blue Grass Loved Wheaties And So Did I.

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.

Baseball Is Continuity. Pitch To Pitch. Inning To Inning. Season To Season.

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.

Baseball Is A Ballet Without Music. Drama Without Words.
