| Thanks for posting this here and making it on topic! New York claims, and mourns, Vin Scully just as you do in SoCal. He's our boy though. :-) Despite his long and very important connection to the Dodgers, not everyone knows that he grew up in the Bronx, as a Giants fan. Before he watched games from press boxes, he had the most unique vantage point one can have, straight away center field at the Polo Grounds, where a home run took 483 feet of real estate to accomplish (and only 4 hitters ever managed to get over the wall). |

| Yes, thanks. I grew up as a Giants fan, who converted to the Mets after the Giants moved to San Francisco in 1957 and the Mets came to NY in 1962. My most cherished days as a kid were seeing games at the Polo Grounds. Having said this, I mourn, as all baseball does, the passing of Vin Scully, or perhaps I celebrate his career and his long life. He was the voice of baseball. Full stop. A genius at his trade. There will never be anyone else like him. |

| He was appropriately called "The Voice of Los Angeles," and called Los Angeles his home for 65 of his 94 years. He's our guy, ;-) and he was the best who ever called the game. What a legacy! | |
