"I (am) ready to take a
deep plunge off the world.
I see Nothing ahead
I believe my life is over."

So said Waite Hoyt in 1945 during the stormiest, darkest period of his life. How could this privileged man of overwhelming accomplishment be suicidal? During the first half of the 20th century the talented Hoyt was:
  • A Professional pitcher at 15
  • 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


Joe Hayden
Founder Midland Baseball Program
"He would get halfway through a story and chuckle, which meant he was leaving something out that did not belong on the air."
"To be put up there with Waite, I'm honored."
Joe Nuxhall
Hall of Fame Broadcaster
