Didn’t even know he was still around, good for him. Though I don’t envy being 92 and in a hospital as things are today.

Man is a legend - and not just locally.

I went to games at the Coliseum in the late 50s. So many fans would bring transistor radios to the game so they could listen to Vin’s play-by-play call of the game that when it was quiet, you could hear him. People from the east put it down to L.A. fans’ ignorance of the game, but that wasn’t it. Vin was just that good.

People remember his call of Gibson’s game-winning home run in the World Series, but I liked his call of Koufax’s perfect game even better. He could fill every bit of space in his broadcast, but he also knew when to say nothing.
