"Aw, how could he (Jorge Orta) lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
"Booze, broads, and bullshit. If you got all that, what else do you need?"
"Hello again, everybody. It's a bee-yooo-tiful day for baseball."
"Holy cow!"
"I figure I had no business being here this long anyway, so what do you care how old I am? I've been on borrowed time for years. You know my old saying: live it up, the meter's running. I've always said that if you don't have fun while you're here, then it's your fault. You only get to do this once."
"I know it is the fans that are responsible for me being here. I've always tried in each and every broadcast to serve the fans to the best of my ability."
"I'll tell you what's helped me my entire life. I look at baseball as a game. It's something where people can go out, enjoy and have fun. Nothing more."
"It could be, it might be, It is! A home run!"
"I think it's the greatest shot in the arm baseball could get. Once upon a time, all kids wanted to be baseball players, but nowadays a young kid dreams about playing basketball or football and making millions. I think it's great to see a man (Michael Jordan) who has reached the pinnacle of his career, and now he wants to go back and do what he wanted to do as a kid - play baseball."
"It's the fans that need spring training. You gotta get 'em interested. Wake 'em up and let 'em know that their season is coming, the good times are gonna roll."
"I've only been doing this fifty-four years. With a little experience, I might get better."
"I would always sing it (Take Me Out To The Ball Game), because I think it's the only song I knew the words to!"
"My whole philosophy is to broadcast the way a fan would broadcast."
"Now, you tell me, if I have a day off during the baseball season, where do you think I`ll spend it? The ballpark. I still love it. Always have, always will."
"Oh, I get a little tired now and then, but knowing my lifestyle, that's only natural."
"They (Expos fans) discovered 'boo' is pronounced the same in French as it is in English."
"This has been the remarkable thing about the fans in Chicago, they keep drawing an average of a million-three a year, and, when the season's over and they've won their usual seventy-one games, you feel that those fans deserve a medal."
"You could tell he (President Ronald Reagan) was an old radio guy. He never once looked at the television monitor."
