I have be watching the World Series between the Dodgers and Red Sox. Or more accurately, dozing off during the World Series. Don't tell any one, but I'm not a fan of new baseball. Analytics, the in and outs of multiple pitchers, but I do admire the many 100 mph pitchers with multiple Tommy John surgeries.
Im still mourning Vince Scully and yes I'm still ticked at Time Warner, now known as Spectrum for stealing the last years of listening to Vinny. As a Angeleno that once moved away for awhile, growing up with Vinny's voice is one thing, missing that voice from far away as you listen to vastly inferior story telling is torture.
The new replacement (I still don't know his name) and his partner Orel, are ok. But they talk way too much. Vinny was the master, fewer words, better stories and descriptions of the game.
The Insult? Fox is running two commercials with his voice over. One for the Children's Hospital and once of him reading a poem for T Mobile. Everytime I hear them, it jogs the memory. The brain goes, wait..... hey, isn't that Vince Scully? and I miss him more.
Here's to Vinny and his many years of comfort listening pleasure.
