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.

God blessed me by putting me here for thirty-one years at Michigan and Trumbull.

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

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.

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.

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

I think once you start as an announcer, you have to decide what kind of approach you're going to have. I decided very early that I was going to be a reporter, that I would not cheer for the team. I don't denigrate people who do it. It's fine. I think you just have to fit whatever kind of personality you have, and I think my nature was to be more down the middle and that's the way I conducted the broadcasts.
