Vin Scully Would Like You To Know Redheads Aren't Going To Be Extinct By 2060
I know nobody saw this because if you stay up till 1 am to watch a Phillies game should just take the last gun in the bullet to the face immediately. But solid, Pulitzer Prize investigative journalism by our boy Vin Scully. Erik The Red at the plate and those soulless bastards in the stands need not worry anymore. Somebody told Vin A) False information about firecrotches and B) What the internet is and that’s there was a “Firestorm” on it. Good shit, Vin.
Bonus Vin Scully story: The time he perfectly described meeting Babe Ruth –
Pretty neat stuff for baseball nerds. I don’t know about anyone else, but Babe Ruth is in the Sandlot, “Heroes get remembered, but legends never die” category for me. I can’t even imagine meeting him in real life because all I know of him is from stats, photos and his overall larger than life status. So this is really a journey into a different time. Vin’s talking about baseball before lights and the Polo Ground’s for Christ sake. Gotta love it.
Said it before and I’ll say it again, Vin’s as sharp as a tack for being in baseball for 150 years. Sure, he slips up from time to time. “Takes out a stack of business cards…you know the cards they use for business.” But the guy’s still the best in the game. Absolutely love how he goes into an old man rant at the end about big leaguer’s messy signatures. Pretty sure doctors take the cake in shitty handwriting deptartment, but do you Vin. Never change.
