I look on life as a joyous adventure.

Nicknames are baseball, names like Zeke and Pie and Kiki and Home Run and Cracker and Dizzy and Dazzy.

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.

So much happened (in 1968) it was hard to keep up with everything. We had Denny McLain's thirty-one victories, Gates Brown's great pinch-hitting in the clutch, Tom Matchick's home run to beat Baltimore in the ninth inning, then Daryl Patterson striking out the side to beat them in the ninth. Excitement every day in the ballpark.

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

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

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