I am sitting here watching the farewell to Vin Scully and I can't believe that this weekend will be the last weekend we will be able to listen to him (live at least).
I have been blessed to have him wordsmith my team for my whole life and how much I will miss him. Kevin Costner is giving his last public farewell tonight and I am sure it will be on youtube later tonight, I would encourage you to listen to it. Wonderful.
God Bless Vin.

Iconic role model. The world has far too few like him. Will anyone ever again excel at something so high profile for so long?
Kirk Gibson home run call best ever.
Awesome human being and story teller.
Gonna be at his last game. Looking forward to it; hope the SFG do right by him. Maybe they could put his feed over the PA system throughout the day.
Here is Kevin Costner's speech. It's OK to cry.

The audio is a bit choppy and the music drops out but I am sure it will show up on youtube eventually after the networks make their $$.
Tough to watch him go off. To hear Vin talk about me on broadcast is a memory I'll never forget. What an honor.
What a final game for Vin at Dodger Stadium! A dramatic bottom of ninth 2-out HR to send the game into extra innings and then a walk-off HR in the 10th to clinch the division title. Unbelievable last home game for a great human being. Dodger games just won't be the same.
Daron Sutton just did an interview with Vin on the PG radio show MLB radio. What a humble and positive man. One of, if not the very best, play by play broadcasters ever.
