VIN SCULLY, THE BEST ANNOUNCER IN BASEBALL HISTORY

Vin Scully was recently named the best announcer in baseball history by author Curt Smith in his new book Voices of Summer. My good friend Andy Torres, contributor to a new baseball blog on the KPCC-FM web site entitled Extra Innings, has the story and some sharp commentary about Scully and the state of Dodger broadcasting. This promises to be a site that will routinely feature excellent writing and well-reasoned baseball analysis-- Andy's one of the smartest people I know, period, but particular wise when it comes to the major leagues-- so a bookmark for Extra Innings is highly recommended. Congratulations to Andy on the new forum, and to Vin for making even the most agonizing game listenable and memorable.
