Vin Scully is in a class by himself. Anybody who has followed baseball for a while knows this. Certainly, anybody who has the MLB package probably finds themselves watching the Dodgers in late night games more than any other. Sure, the Dodgers are an interesting team with James Loney and Manny Ramirez and all, but you watch the Dodgers because of Vin Scully.

Scully aid an average 143.51 words ... Read Full Story
