I think it's very PC and very cowardly. They're just not willing to deal with it. It's just completely condemning his freedom of speech.

I talked to the umpire afterward and we patched things up.

That way we'll be able to set aside some money to purchase land when it becomes available.

It kind of surprised me because I didn't think [the sounds] were that bad. I guess the umpire saw things differently.

It didn't matter to the rescuers, and it didn't matter to those being rescued. We were all Americans.

The people down there were thankful. It put a light back in their eyes.

This was only the fifth or sixth game I worked as the sound guy this season. There is disc or recorded bits and I just played what's on there. I didn't want to cause any commotion. If I knew the umpire would get mad, I would have stopped.

I've witnessed an announcer getting tossed before. I just never thought it would happen to me.

That's an awful lot of money, but anytime the town can purchase land, I have to say I'm for it. The town needs to do some land banking.
