The "voice of summer" -- Vin Scully...dead at 94

Vin Scully (1927-2022)


I'll remember him always as the "voice of summer" and for the way he put beautiful words together.

I'll leave you with this: From The Love of the Game, the 1999 movie --

The cathedral that is Yankee Stadium belongs to a Chapel

***

And you know Steve, you get the feeling that Billy Chapel isn't pitching against left handers, he isn't pitching against pinch hitters, he isn't pitching against the Yankees. He's pitching against time. He's pitching against the future, against age, and even when you think about his career, against ending. And tonight I think he might be able to use that aching old arm one more time to push the sun back up in the sky and give us one more day of summer.

Scully passed away in the Hidden Hills neighborhood of  Los Angeles, August 2, 2022.
