I know he was 90, but it hits different.

Was coming to say the same thing. I generally watch Major League the night before Opening Day. May need to watch it tonight. My favorite line.

I still tuned into Brewers games on MLB package just to listen to him. He will be missed greatly.

Loved his take on catching Phil Niekro's knuckleball. He said it was easy. He would just walk over and pick it up when it stopped rolling.

When I came up to bat in the bottom of the ninth with 3 men on and 2 outs, I would look in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes
