Baseball Quote by Ernie Johnson Jr

“What doing baseball means to me is it's a real touchpoint with my late father. This is what he did for thirty years. I was fortunate to share the booth with my dad for four seasons in the 1990s, so every time I do a game, it's a way to honor him.” quote by Ernie Johnson Jr
