In radio, they say, nothing happens until the announcer says it happens.

The game's the thing. That's why people tune in. They don't tune in to hear an announcer.

What happens with any announcer when he comes into an area, if he stays four or five years and does a fairly decent job, people accept him and he becomes part of the family.

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

The left-brainer and the economist in me says watch what people do, not what they say.

Whatever happens, I'm ready to face it.
