I pretty much figured Gub. It was really a sad time. It was that areas pride and joy. People were crushed...It was a family thing.

Yes, when vin Scully was still announcing, he would tell stories - as only he could - about Brooklyn. Many of the old Brooklyn Dodgers have passed away throughout the years, but Vin would have them in the booth & talk to them while announcing the game. They were always a big part of the team, teaching the younger guys, especially when the Dodgers still trained at Vero Beach. Sandy Koufax is still around & has been a very big influence on Klayton Kershaw as well as other pitchers.

the dodgers are going to get the All Star Game next year, and will be modernizing their stadium adding a Koufax statue outside next to Jackie Robinson's.
