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

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.

In baseball, democracy shines its clearest. The only race that matters is the race to the bag. The creed is the rule book. And color, merely something to distinguish one team's uniform from another's.

Al Michaels is a good announcer. I think Keith Jackson is a terrific announcer. I always loved him on Monday Night Football. I never understood why they got rid of him.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

The League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out.
