would like to read the Vin Scully story but the link is wrong. help?

That’s right there’s no one like Scully, and sadly there doesn’t seem like there ever will be again. Firstly because they have to cram 3 guys in the booth so they can yammer on about everything, and, more importantly, the idea of the narrative in baseball seems to have gone out the window, and it’s all “he’s hit 3 runs in 7 innings against left handed pitchers under 6 foot tall in sub-60 degree weather!” and random quips about mostly boring statistics. I love statistics and statistical analysis and the truth stuff like sabermetrics yields, but man oh man do I love a good baseball story, a real narrative, and Vin Scully is a man who appreciates that.

Never die, Vin. Never die.

As someone who finally picked up and started reading “Forever Blue” this is a real cool article.  I would really like to hear more about Red Barber from his days with Cincinnati too.

As a lifelong Giants fan, I can honestly say the only good thing to ever come from Da Bums is Vin Scully. What a treasure! I’ve made sure both my boys have had the chance to listen to his TV broadcasts. Close your eyes and just like listgenong to him on the radio!

But I loved the Red Barber narrative. Sounds like he spoke as colorful and fluently as he wrote. Thankls for sharing this!

Um…Gregor, you’re kidding..right???

The least you could do is spell Mr. Weisman’s name correctly. He is deserving of any/all attention directed toward his outstanding writing/blog with proper attribution. Thank you.
