Baseball Hall of Famer
Friend to Babe Ruth
Ace Pitcher for the legendary '27 Yankees
First player to move from field to press box
Long time voice of the Cincinnati Reds and Burger Beer
Alcoholic, "...and a damn good one," said Waite

"Waite taught us you were allowed to be a baseball lover and still use words you had to look up in the dictionary."	Nick Clooney Colleague and Friend

"To be put up there with Waite, I'm honored."	Joe Nuxhall Hall of Fame Broadcaster
