I've Been Lucky To Broadcast

I've Found That If You Wear A Beret, People Think You're Either A Cabdriver Or A Producer Of Dirty Movies.

Also I'm A Part Of The People That I've Worked With In Baseball That Have Been So Great To Me, Mr. Earl Mann Of Atlanta, Who Gave Me My First Baseball Broadcasting Job.

Wheaties Was The Big Sponsor In Those Days (1940s). They Sponsored Almost All The Baseball Games In The Majors And The Minors. That Was A Lot Of Wheaties. I Think There Were Twenty-four Boxes In A Case And Some Of These Guys Were Hitting Twenty-five And Thirty Home Runs A Season. We Had A Dog In Those Days Named Blue Grass And The Players Used To Give Us Their Wheaties For Him. Blue Grass Loved Wheaties And So Did I.

God Blessed Me By Putting Me Here For Thirty-one Years At Michigan And Trumbull.

But Most Of All, I'm A Part Of You People Out There Who Have Listened To Me, Because Especially You People In Michigan, You Tiger Fans, You've Given Me So Much Warmth, So Much Affection And So Much Love.
