I've Found That If You

The Greatest Single Moment Ive Ever Known In Detroit Was Jim Northrups Triple In The Seventh Game Of The World Series In St. Louis.

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.

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.

I Think If You Checked The Attendance Records Of All The Announcers, You'd Find A Lot Better Record Than You Would Of Anybody Else In Any Other Business Because We Love The Game And Have A Passion For It.
