Vin Scully goes Silent

[IMAXMAX]

Warmest Regards to the great Vin Scully who broadcast his last Dodger home game this afternoon...A King among Kings,no doubt.

"A little roller up along first... behind the bag! It gets through Buckner! Here comes Knight, and the Mets win it!"

Thanks Vin - you made a lifelong fan out of me and gave my mother and I "the call" of my childhood.

His call of Aaron's 715th is immortal. After letting the crowd noise speak for itself, he took on directly the race issue:

What a marvelous moment for baseball, what a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia, what a marvelous moment for the country and the world. A black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. And it is a great moment for all of us, and particularly for Henry Aaron."

Pretty cool game to send him off with. A two out homer in the ninth to tie the game, followed by an extra-inning win. The song at the end was a little corny, but the world could probably use a little more of that these days. Glad to see he got to finish up his time at Dodger Stadium on a high note.

What a day. His last game, terrible Fernandez news, and then Arnold Palmer. Some good news today please.
