You know, I was once named Minor League Player of the Year... unfortunately, I had been in the majors for two years at the time.

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television... I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.

I hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I've enjoyed doing the games. I don't ever go to the park where I don't have a good day. I don't like losing. But I don't think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don't think once.

I spent three of the best years of my life in 10th grade.

Before broadcasting for 50-some years, I did TV, played 10 years in the big leagues, won a world championship - and played a big part in that, too, letting the Cardinals inject me with hepatitis. Takes a big man to do that.

I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel's suitcase.

I just grew the hair on my back. Facial hair just wasn't appealing to me. I liked it on my back, though.

Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?

Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. But to be able to trick people year in and year out the way I did, I think that was a much greater feat.
