Anyone who listened to Vin for more than a few games knew he loved musicals, and he probably loved "The Music Man" more than any other show.
In 2009, when Meredith Willson's "But He Doesn't Know the Territory" was re-released, I bought a copy and sent it to him at the Stadium, hoping for a response, but prepared to just be happy to make a connection.
Gratifyingly, I got a handwritten thank you note from him, which is now framed and hanging on my wall, along with an autographed photo.
He was the absolute best and was the voice accompanying most of my life. RIP. |
