Great article on Vin Scully. It's a pretty long read:

'We’ve been friends long enough you’ll understand': Vin Scully, baseball's longest-tenured and most eloquent broadcaster, is still looking to make a connection - SBNation.com

At 86, you could say that Vin Scully has conquered baseball. He's called World Series and All-Star games. He's been with the Dodgers in two home cities and three different home parks (four if you count the games they played in Jersey City's Roosevelt Stadium in 1956-1957), and even accompanied the team to Australia for this year's opener. He's outlasted 11 managers, nine different owners, and has seen thousands of players come and go. He's called triple plays, no hitters and perfect games, and has been behind the microphone for some of the most iconic moments in baseball history.

And yet, he remains. In April, when asked if he still felt the same way he did following the players' strike 19 years ago, if he still needs the audience, he said, "It's still a wonderful experience. It's a great honor. And it's a great privilege to be allowed to go to the ballpark, and do the game, and express a little bit of yourself without getting in the way."

Nice sweep of the Marlins, gotta be able to hang with the top teams though. It's frustrating because we have the talent to do it
