Vin Scully is the reason I prefer listening to baseball on the radio even if I am watching the game on TV. The way he described the national game of the week on TV led me to seek out the radio broadcast of Braves games when I was a kid. He came across as the personification of kindness and class. RIP

"The blind soldier fought for me in this war. The least I can do now is fight for him. I have eyes. He hasn’t. I have a voice on the radio, he hasn’t. I was born a white man. And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
