Vin Scully

The Dodgers announcer since 1950.  I hear in his voice late nights lying in bed next to my sleeping Grandfather, the cool Southern California ocean breeze on my face as I ride my bike along the coast, the thwack of a tennis ball thrown hundreds of times against a brick wall.  Home.  1988.  The year I left the only home that I'd ever known, and clung to the Dodgers like a life raft in October.  "In a year of the improbable, the impossible has happened!"  I don't want to imagine a world without Vin Scully.  The fact that he will return for 2012 is absolutely one of my favorite things.  "A very pleasant good evening to you, wherever you may be."
