Baseball Is A Spirited Race Of Man

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

Baseball Is Just A Game, As Simple As A Ball And Bat, Yet As Complex As The American Spirit It Symbolizes. A Sport, A Business And Sometimes Almost Even A Religion.

But Most Of All, I'm A Part Of You People Out There Who Have Listened To Me, Because Especially You People In Michigan, You Tiger Fans, You've Given Me So Much Warmth, So Much Affection And So Much Love.

If I Walked Back Into The Booth In The Year 2025, I Don't Think It Would Have Changed Much. I Think Baseball Would Be Played And Managed Pretty Much The Same As It Is Today. It's A Great Survivor.

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.
