I’ve been listening to Vinny for 43 years. I’m listening to him right now. I realize, at his age, this could be the last time I ever hear him call a Dodger game.
When he “retires” I will have a tough time getting excited about Dodger baseball.
43 years! I'm envious. :o)
I'm listening to him now as well, via Gameday audio on the computer. I know what you're saying how this could be the last time you hear him call a Dodger game. He is such a treasure, I go out of my way (and stay up too late here in the eastern time zone sometimes) just to listen to him.
May Vin live a long and very healthy life!
Nutmeg, thanks for the ping. I started answering this morning and, well you know.....:)
As painful as the championship series has been for this here forever Dodger fan, I listened to the last few innings of last night’s game, knowing these were Vin’s last calls of the season.
What a gem. He is so professional, so baseball and so human all at once. He gives me such chuckles, sometimes he lets you know what he’s thinking in a sly way. I really wished the guys could have gone all the way this year. “Win it for Vinny” was my cry.
He plans to be on the job in 2010, but whenever he hangs up his cap, we will have a treasury of memories and he has the love of thousands, maybe millions!!!
