This isn't an obit but it's going to feel like one. Vin Scully — the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the best darned baseball announcer of all time — is telling folks that he'll probably retire after the 2010 season. I don't even follow baseball much anymore and I'm saddened by the news.
I probably listen to him for about four innings a year but it was always comforting to know he was there, and that it was humanly possible to be that good at something for that long. I don't even care about the Dodgers and couldn't name a member of the team if you had a Louisville Slugger and threatened to belt my nads into left field. I just liked listening to Vin…and I'll be sad when that's no longer possible.
