Longtime sportscaster Vin Scully passed away yesterday at age 94. Most notable for a more than 60 year association with the Dodgers, he was also known for calling the World Series for many years in the early 80s and again in the 90s. As with most men of his generation, he served. He was in the Navy before attending college and striking it big.<\/p>\n

Vin leaves us with some excellent words from November 2017, when the anti-American anthem kneeling was starting. I think his words will echo with virtually everyone here.<\/p>\n

“I have only one personal thought, really. And I am so disappointed,\u201d Scully said. \u201cI used to love, during the fall and winter, to watch the NFL on Sunday. And it\u2019s not that I\u2019m some great patriot. I was in the Navy for a year. Didn\u2019t go anywhere. Didn\u2019t do anything. But I have overwhelming respect and admiration for anyone who puts on a uniform and goes to war. So the only thing I can do in my little way is not to preach. I will never watch another NFL game.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
