From BillionQuotes

Ralph McPherran Kiner (born October 27, 1922) is an American former Major League Baseball player and current announcer. Kiner has been an announcer for the entire 43-year history of the New York Mets despite (or perhaps because of) a penchant for malapropisms and colorful sayings, similar to another beloved New York baseball player, Yogi Berra.
