Q: Is your plan to stick it out with the Giants for the rest of your broadcasting career?

A: Well, it’s my 23rd year with the Giants. I mean, my plan before that was to stick it out with the Orioles (laughs). I grew up (in the Bay Area). The Giants were my team as a kid.

I didn’t really know what I was doing when I wanted to stay in Baltimore. I should have definitely wanted to go home. But, I always thought, well, Vin Scully, Ernie Harwell, Jack Buck, guys who were in a city for a long time and were so identifiable with that team, I thought, well that’s what you want. I was there (in Baltimore) for 14 years and I was hoping that would be my place, but I was pretty disappointed when all of a sudden I didn’t even get an offer (to return). Now, I look back and say, ‘What was I thinking?’ I can’t even imagine if I had stayed, because the whole organization seems like it has gone downhill so badly.
