It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.

I'd like to be remembered as someone who showed up for the job. I consider myself a worker.

Why the fairy tale of Willie Mays making a brilliant World Series catch, and then dashing off to play stickball in the street with his teenage pals. That’s baseball. So is the husky voice of a doomed Lou Gehrig saying, ‘I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.’

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

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

Baseball is a tongue-tied kid from Georgia growing up to be an announcer and praising the Lord for showing him the way to Cooperstown. This is a game for America. Still a game for America, this baseball!

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