There is one more of those remaining. Vin Scully of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Vin was also an outstanding broadcaster, although he was (slightly) better on the radio than TV in my opinion. Growing up in MI, however, I only got to listen to Vin when I traveled to CA. In MI, I could pick up games from the eastern seaboard to the Mississippi, and sometimes as far south as Atlanta.

Vin Scully used to do the Saturday Game of The Week on NBC with his partner former St. Louis Cardinals Catcher Joe Garagiola.

What a treat it was to listen to those two on a Saturday afternoon, and all the stories they used to tell during the games.

I am fortunate to have 2 baseballs signed by Ernie and Paul, which are a combination 1968 and 1984 balls. I also have a autographed picture of Ernie & Paul when they were doing appearances for Central Michigan Lumber. I got one when they were at Burlingame Lumber in Grand Rapids.
