Baseball Is A Rookie, His

It's Been A Terrific Life.

So Much Happened (in 1968) It Was Hard To Keep Up With Everything. We Had Denny Mclain's Thirty-one Victories, Gates Brown's Great Pinch-hitting In The Clutch, Tom Matchick's Home Run To Beat Baltimore In The Ninth Inning, Then Daryl Patterson Striking Out The Side To Beat Them In The Ninth. Excitement Every Day In The Ballpark.

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.

I Think I Owe Thanks To The People Who Have Listened To Me Over The Years, Who Tuned In On The Radio. They Have Given Me A Warmth And Loyalty That I've Never Been Able To Repay. The Way They Have Reached Out To Me Has Certainly Been The Highlight Of My Life.

Baseball Is Continuity. Pitch To Pitch. Inning To Inning. Season To Season.
