“You watch a broadcast and guys get the pitches wrong.”

You put deadlines on people you really don’t want, because that’s how you feel about them.

I like starting. It’s pretty cool.

The pitcher setting up the batter. It’s chess, and you play with it.

Pitches are like pages of a book; they’re so important.

The chess game; how I set you up early, and how I’ll do it differently later.

Announcers don’t do enough of the cat-and-mouse strategy and all the work that goes into it.

I did not want to leave the Mets and I did not want to leave New York.

My own belief is that there is hardly anyone whose sexual life, if it were broadcast, would not fill the world at large with surprise and horror.

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.

Radio news is bearable. This is due to the fact that while the news is being broadcast, the disk jockey is not allowed to talk.

During a long career in TV broadcasting, I spent a lot of time contributing to other people’s creations.

People automatically assume and expect that every moment and every bit of personal data should be broadcasted on social media, especially as it relates to them – and thats just not cuttin’ it for me.

Usually these favors take the form of an introduction, reference, feedback, or broadcast on social media.

Obviously, there’s a million things we’re allowed to say on late-night cable that you’re not allowed to say on a prime time broadcast.

Haters will broadcast your failures, but whisper your success.
