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.

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

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.

Baseball is a lot like life. It's a day-to-day existence, full of ups and downs. You make the most of your opportunities in baseball as you do in life.

Baseball is just a game, as simple as a ball and bat, yet as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport, a business and sometimes almost even a religion.

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

Don't suffocate your spirit for the lessons that were only passing through spring.

My real goal is the Olympics. It's going to be tough but it was very good preparation to play here.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people and so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

I can't take a well-tanned person seriously.

We call it "Nature"; only reluctantly admitting ourselves to be "Nature" too.

A mistake is an event, the full benefit of which has not yet been turned to your advantage.

Books are wonderful, but they aren't that powerful.

My job is to score goals.

Saying "I'll try" really means "I'm not really committed."

When I'm working in the real world with real women and we're shopping, we find that fashion seems to end when you get any larger than a size 12. How ridiculous is that?
