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.

Baseball is a ballet without music. Drama without words.

A tall, thin old man waving a scorecard from the corner of his dugout. That's baseball.

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.

The greatest single moment Ive ever known in Detroit was Jim Northrups triple in the seventh game of the World Series in St. Louis. It was a stunning moment because not only were the Tigers winning a world championship that meant so much to an entire city, they were beating the best pitcher I ever saw-Bob Gibson.

When I went to Brooklyn in 1948 Jackie Robinson was at the height of his brilliant career.

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