Vin Scully Announces....

.... that he will be keeping his talents in South Cali.  That's right, folks, Mr. Scully, the man who was confused by a mullet, will return for his 62nd season announcing Dodger games.  For the non-math majors out there, that means he has been announcing games for the Dodgers since 1950.  So, what has happened since Vin Scully started announcing Dodger games?

• 12 different men with 11 last names have been elected President of the United States
• Korean War... well, technically, that's still going on
• The Civil Rights Movement
• The Interstate system was built (and continues to be under construction wherever I need to go)
• Dirty Commies pointed rockets at the United States
• JFK, RFK, & MLK, Jr. were all assassinated
• Vietnam War
• US Space Program landed on the moon.
• Iraq I, Iraq II, Afghanistan & other various wars around the world
• Rise of fantasy baseball & football
• My parents were born

Oh, and what hasn't happened in that time?

The Cubs haven't made a World Series appearance!

Scully, Tulo, Fish & Hair

Vin Scully is hands down one of the best announcers in the game of baseball today.  In an era where people don't listen to games like they used to (with the proliferation of television and the internet... and other things to do), Vin Scully is a throwback to the days of Walter Johnson, Cy Young and Christy Mathewson... no, seriously, this dude's been around for a long time.

There are things about baseball the Scully could describe, and you'd feel like you were right there.  Unfortunately, he doesn't keep up on all the "latest" fashion trends, as you can hear from listening to this clip.  It's about 2 minutes long, but worth every second.

This is during a Dodgers-Rockies game.  The player he is talking about is Rockies' SS Troy Tulowitzki.  Listen to the clip here.
