Blessed to be a husband, a dad, and a son. Proud to root for the Dodgers, Niners, and the 'Cuse.

"On a typical night at Dodger Stadium, Vin Scully sits in the booth that's named after him, perched on the chair he calls home for approximately 81 games a season.
He has two media guides, home and away.
Both are stuffed with index cards on which Scully has written notes on the stories he's researched, stories of greater depth, insight, and humor than the ones that come pre-printed in the team-authored books.
His scorebook sits front and center in a custom-leather binder.
He has another book off to the side containing key stats and more index cards, all of which are also prepared by Scully himself.
There's a yellow highlighter, a red pen for pitching changes, and a blue pen just in case his notes need correction.
He keeps a handful of Jolly Rancher candies in his pocket, just in case his throat gets dry during the broadcast.
It's a trick he learned years ago so he could avoid drinking water while working;
Every broadcaster fears missing a pitch because he had to run to the restroom.
It says something about a baseball commentator that his choice of pens, lozenges, and other accessories has been deemed worthy of documentation.
Many of the tools of Scully's trade are easily visible whenever the camera cuts to the booth, but they fail to distract from Scully himself.
Always impeccably dressed, he can be simultaneously dapper and dated, with lapels of powder blue, ties the color of 1970's kitchen appliances, and such debonair though archaic touches as complementary pocket squares.
"All I know is I'm eternally grateful for having been allowed to work so many games."
Vin Scully.
The Polo Grounds.

The Los Angeles Dodgers mourn the passing at age 91 of Fred Claire, whose three decades with the franchise reached their pinnacle as the general manager of the 1988 World Series Champions. We send our deepest condolences to his wife Sheryl and children Jeff, Jennifer and Kim.

@FilsingerGames Man. 40 yrs. My friends and I would play Champions of the Galaxy during middle school summer vacation. Thantos and Lord Nexus were my favorites. Got all the way up to 2091. Good times.

Ten years ago today, Vin Scully signed off the @Dodgers airwaves for the final time.

“You and I have been friends for a long time, but I know in my heart that I’ve always needed you more than you’ve ever needed me.”
