I could listen to Vinny read from a telephone book.

But I do listen to him pray the rosary:

I was highly honored to hear Vin at the mike one night a few summers ago when MLBTV plugged in to a LAD local telecast from the Ravine. The only time this lifelong east coaster heard Scully on the air outside of network broadcasts. Get well Vin. Thank you for your life’s work.

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

One of the funniest Beverly Hillbilly episodes had Durocher in it when Jed and Jethro went to shoot golf. Hillarious episode. It's on YouTube.

“Listening to sports radio in LA we were blessed with: Vinnnie, Chick Hearn and Jim Healy”

Don’t forget the great L.A. Kings announcer Bob Miller whom retired in 2017. He was first rate as well.

Forgive me, it was an omission of ignorance, as I have never been a hockey fan. Your inclusion of him is appreciated by many, I am sure.

Also Leo was in an episode of Mr Ed. As Wilbur and Ed go to Dodger stadium to help Leo out. They suggest a fix for slumping “3 Dog” Willie Davis’s swing. Sandy Koufax is pitching batting practice. Finally Mr Ed takes a swing against Sandy and hits an inside the Park Home run.

I had forgotten about the Mr. Ed episode with Durocher. Great television.

I'm praying for Vin. Falls at his age can be deadly especially if he has a broken hip. Keep us informed if you hear more, thanks.
