How did I not know the two longtime Dodger announcers had the same birthday??? I'm ashamed.
But best wishes to them both!
Wait for it.......
McCourt didn't have the cash flow for 2 birthday cakes in the same week. Someone had to go.
Ba-dum-dum.
I'll be here all week.
Is it safe to assume that your "Wait for it" is a Ron Howard reference?
Darn. I take it you don't watch Arrested Development...?
Yes, sadly, the commitment is short. But I recommend you lengthen it by purchasing the DVDs. It's a great show. BTW: what academic field do you call home?
I think Ross is now 66 and Vin is 78. Good genes!
Stan from Tacoma
But happy birthday to 2 great Dodgers.
Ross, we miss you, and Vin, we can't imagine life without your mellifluous voice cascading all over Los Angeles.
There are many audio clips of Vin Scully's fine work. Thought I would share a favorite of mine, from 2004. It's a great moment for Dave Roberts against the Yankees. (Bet the Yankees wish he'd stayed a Dodger)
55 years later and you can still hear the excitement and love of the game in Vin's voice. Wonderful. Thirty seconds listening to him and suddenly, it's great to be a Dodger fan again.
