Vin Scully will be back with the Dodgers in 2015, which is great news. Vin might live and broadcast long enough that someone can build a robot Vin Scully that can call games once the announcer is no longer with us. As long as it’s programmed to say “half a dozen” once a game, it should work just fine. 🙂
Love that man. Thirty years ago, a fellow communications major (named Jim) wrote Scully to ask for an informational interview. Vin wrote back, agreeing and invited Jim to Dodger Stadium. They spent over an hour talking and Jim was blown away by how well Vin treated him. The funny part is that Jim wasn’t even a baseball fan.
