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.

With the Giants I broadcast the debut of Hall of Famer Willie Mays.

Love is more than a word to me. It's something that I see and feel in the people around me that makes me believe it and feel loved. It's nurturing and unconditional. It is consistent and reliable.

The most interesting people are never perfect.

If I read or listened to critics of our music. I'd have been discouraged a long time ago.

I don't think it's good to try and change anyone. The trick and the mystery - of relationships and life in general - is to learn to live with the bits you don't like.

We all lead more pedestrian lives than we think we do. The boiling of an egg is sometimes more important than the boiling of a love affair in the end.

I think anytime you can share images that make young women feel a sense of belonging when they might not be feeling their best or their strongest is so cool.

Essentially what photography is is life lit up.

The news is not a mirror of social conditions, but the report of an aspect that has obtruded itself.

I was definitely inspired by gospel music, or old-school R&B I got into some Good God gospel compilations.

Your mid-thirties is a good time because you know a fair amount, you have some self-control.
