I've been lucky to broadcast some great events and to broadcast the exploits of some great players.

It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.

That other saying, I'm a part of all that I have met, I think that would have to begin with my wonderful parents back in Atlanta when I was a youngster five years old I was tongue tied.

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.

Baseball is a lot like life. It's a day-to-day existence, full of ups and downs. You make the most of your opportunities in baseball as you do in life.

Baseball is just a game, as simple as a ball and bat, yet as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport, a business and sometimes almost even a religion.

Baseball is a ballet without music. Drama without words.

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.

If I walked back into the booth in the year 2025, I don't think it would have changed much. I think baseball would be played and managed pretty much the same as it is today. It's a great survivor.

I look on life as a joyous adventure.

I've found that if you wear a beret, people think you're either a cabdriver or a producer of dirty movies.

I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence.

Clear mind + clear plan = clear outcomes.

I don't miss anything I did for a living.

Few kids seek to learn a skill specifically designed to impress people unless they feel less than impressive themselves.

For me, a really radical position for journalism to take is to stop being cynical. Cynicism is what passes for insight among the mediocre.

Lift the veil that obscures the heart, and there you will find what you are looking for.

I love this idea of trying to create that intellectual eroticism. That was what I was working toward all along.

A tendency toward enthusiasm and a chivalrous instinct have more than once been weighed as evidence of a lack of judgment.

When you are on the bright side of life, do not forget the people who are on the dark side and remember that man can easily slip from one side to the other!

A woman's body is a dark and monstrous mystery; between her supple thighs a heavy whirlpool swirls, two rivers crash, and woe to him who slips and falls!
