Red Barber

Whenever you have a tight situation and there's a close pitch, the umpire gets a squawk no matter how he calls it.

Running like a bunny with his tail on fire.

This is Red Barber speaking. Let me say hello to you all.

When I'm talking to a large audience, I imagine that I'm talking to a single person.

When I was in baseball and you went into the clubhouse, you didn't see ball players with curling irons.

You have to be as fully prepared for the dull game as you are for the great game, or else you won't be prepared for the great one.

He's sitting in the catbird seat.

Baseball is dull only to dull minds.
