I think God always has the best for us.

Needless to say, I have more no-hitters than Nolan Ryan.

Baseball is a rookie, his experience no bigger than the lump in his throat as he begins fulfillment of his dream.

Baseball is the president tossing out the first ball of the season. And a scrubby schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a Mississippi farm.

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

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.

I deeply appreciate the people of Michigan. I love their grit. I love the way they face life. I love the family values they have.
