Grew up as a kid listening and watching Dodger Baseball and Vin Scully 😔

Hard loss for sports in general

R.I.P. gone to soon.

He’s in that broadcast booth in the sky, talking strategy and debating Gibson’s greatness with Ernie Harwell.

RIP


Not him, but I hate that Gibson clip like the plague. My favorite team is the A's.

Is that because you look like a fat dyke from Oakland?

He managed to keep a job consistently. He liked David Wells a little to much in the 90’s.


What I really wonder is how well financially guys like Ernie and Vin would do today?

I was obviously kidding (which I'm sure you knew).  Ernie was really good.  He did like David Wells.  Turns out he was right.  Wells went on to be $$$ in the big apple.

I got you bro!

It was funny I remember listening to games and back then Ernie looked at Wells as if he was Verlander in his prime, as a kid I couldn't understand how Detroit could let him go.

Must have been around 95-96. I wish I could remember who we got for him but I'm sure in true 90's Tigers fashion we probably got fleeced.
