Whatever happens, I'm ready to face it.

I'm a failed newspaper man myself.

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.

Everybody in the minor leagues – if you’re a player, an announcer, whatever – wants to be in the big leagues.

I’ve been lucky to broadcast some great events and to broadcast the exploits of some great players.

I have great faith that Heaven’s there and I’ll see my brothers and my mom and dad when I get there.

I’d like to be remembered as someone who showed up for the job. I consider myself a worker.

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.

I just have faith. It’s just there. It’s not any big deal.
