People from the east put it down to L.A. fans ignorance of the game,
Seriously? That's reveals tons of ignorance. Los Angeles had a rich and deep baseball history in the old PCL for decades before the Dodgers arrived.

The word is way overused, but Vin Scully is an icon. I am from pre-cable days and baseball on the radio was summer to me. I wasn't in the Dodgers market, but I am well acquainted with his work. Simply the best. Get well, Mr. Scully.

Some announcers/play by play guys just became icons, like Scully and Harry Caray. Also, the classic Monday Night team up of Cosell & Gifford.

Yep, my aunt and uncle lived near Gilmore Field where the Hollywood Stars played, so I went there a time or two and the PCL Angels played at Wrigley Field. Saw the AL Angels play there before they moved to ‘Chavez Ravine’they refused to call it Dodger Stadium.

Longtime Pittsburgh Pirates announcer Bob Prince, several years after getting fired, came back and tried to announce Penguins hockey games.
Total fustercluck. He was absolutely horrible!

You can see L.A.’s Wrigley Field in an episode of The Munsters where guest star Leo Durocher invites Herman for a tryout.

As a kid growing up, my dad and all of us boys were die hard Cardinals fans.
I’d listen to KMOX w/Harry Caray for Cardinal night games and my baseball idol, Stan “The Man” Musial - THE most underrated superstar athlete.
Even though I’m right handed, I always batted lefthanded because of Musial.

If I didn’t hate the Dodgers (and LA) with a passion that borders on the psychotic I’d care about him.But I do have such a hatred.

The Cub’s pitcher, Bob Hendley, threw a one-hitter. The lone Dodger hit did not lead to their only run.

Never been a big baseball fan or know much about the Cards, but even I know Stan The Man is a classic legend! Like Mantle, Killebrew and many others. Too many to count.
To: BenLurkin
The fall was obviously caused by complications from listening to COVID-19 news. He’s another Coronavirus casualty.
To: hanamizu
Giants fan?Nope,with one click of your mouse you could learn what "Gay State" means.From there you can figure out what teams I support. :-)

There will never be another Vin Scully. Nobody could ‘take you to the ballgame’ better.
Get well, my friend.
