The one thing I regret is that he passed before he got a chance to get into the baseball Hall of Fame.

We did a nationwide survey of tapes to find someone who could step in and do baseball when I was gone, and Bill was the guy we selected. It was obvious sooner or later that he would be doing his own thing. The broadcast business has lost a good one. It's just a shame.

It really wasn't a fair chance. I don't regret it. The players saw what was going on and it affected them. But I had a chance to do what I've always wanted to do. I was honored that the university selected me to be their coach.

You don’t have to regret the things you've done, but regret the things you didn’t do when you had the chance.

He was broadcasting the Giants from Candlestick on the final day of 1962 when they beat Houston and clinched the tie for the pennant.

I think it's an award he would have really cherished. He tried to act like it didn't mean much, but I think he would have really cherished it.
