If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky!
It's a mere moment in a man's life between an All-Star game and an old-timer's game.
God willing, I will be back next year. Over the years I have been blessed to have so many friends, including those that sit in the stands and listen, as well as those at home who listen and watch. It is just too hard to say goodbye to all these friends. Naturally there will come a time when I will have to say goodbye, but I’ve soul-searched and this is not the time.
I don't like to be alone, but I do cherish the moments that I'm alone with a good book.
Some people die twice: once when they retire, and again when they actually pass away. Fear of the first one is a big incentive for me to keep working.
Losing feels worse than winning feels good.
I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things.
The roar of the crowd has always been the sweetest music. It's intoxicating.
We survive our way through basketball hoping the # Lakers will survive and we hope for the # Kings and for the # Ducks and we want them all to succeed but if you are a true fan and especially if you are a # Dodgers fan deep down inside you are saying please get out of the way, get off the stage, here come the DODGERS!

It's a wonderful feeling to be a bridge to the past and to unite generations. The sport of baseball does that, and I am just a part of it.
I've always felt, it's a gift of God, whatever I have, whatever has made me do what I do for as long as I do it. But I know I can lose that in one second. A stroke. Whatever. One second. Blow the whole thing. So, when you do think about that, you realize how fortunate and how blessed you've been, and that's really how I feel.
Good is not good when better is expected.
As long as you live keep smiling because it brightens everybody's day.
