Baseball Is A Lot Like Life. It's

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.

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.

Nicknames Are Baseball, Names Like Zeke And Pie And Kiki And Home Run And Cracker And Dizzy And Dazzy.

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.

I've Been Lucky To Broadcast Some Great Events And To Broadcast The Exploits Of Some Great Players.
