Check this out if you haven’t seen it.

It’s an article by Vin from 1965.

Thanks for kindly sending me the link to that wonderful article. Vin well captures the human condition, not merely in his essay but routinely in his announcing.

By the way, in case you're unaware, Vinny started out as a Giants fan--Mel Ott was his favorite. He fell for the Giants on 10/2/36, at the age of eight, when he noticed the pitiful score of their World Series thumping by the Yankees, 18-4. His final broadcast will be on 10/2/16, eighty years later.

I fell for the Dodgers at the age of seven, living in L.A. and reading in '56 about their first World Series triumph the previous year. Amazingly, they moved here for me! Gil Hodges' house was a block from ours. But the Duke was, and remains, my favorite.
