You can't be afraid to make mistakes.
It's a beautiful day for a ballgame.
The only thing better than a great game is a great game with a great story.
It's a great day for a ballgame.
The game is a great teacher.
The game is a reflection of life.
The story of the game is the story of life.
You have to be able to laugh at yourself.
There are two seasons in Los Angeles: baseball and waiting for baseball.
In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened.
" It's a beautiful day for a ballgame... Let's play two!"
“ I’m just a lucky guy.”
“ You can’t be a great broadcaster unless you’re a great listener.”
“ I think the best way to describe it is that I’m a storyteller.”
“ The magic of baseball is that it’s a game of hope.”
“ It’s a beautiful day for a ballgame.”
