“Hi, I’m Bob Vila. I’m about to make a bunch of extremely difficult shit look easy just to see how many of you are stupid enough to fuck up your house.”
On this day in 1950, @TheVinScully called his first @Dodgers game.
He continued calling games for the Dodgers for a record-setting 67 years, longer than any broadcaster with a single team in professional sports history.
Vin passed away in August 2022.
His legacy lives on.
@kapn_krude@Super70sSports I have an old NASL program (original Seattle Sounders team) that has a story about how hard Stallone had to train for the film
@Super70sSports It should not be called the Rock n' Roll HOF.
It should be the Music Hall of Fame.
Rock n' Roll is a type of music, like jazz, the blues or reggae. Having artists like Aretha Franklin, Madonna, and Johnny Cash is kind of a disservice to actual RnR artists
@Super70sSports Washington produced Ryne Sandberg (RIP), Fred Couples, and the first American to climb Mt. Everest, Jim Whitaker (RIP). John Elway was born here, too.
I was watching the John Waite “Missing You” video and I’d be 100% in on a full length feature movie starring this sweet bastard he just passed on the sidewalk.
Hey, look who made The New York Times! My high school guidance counselor is gonna need a while to accept this …
Thanks to @joedrape for the great feature.

I don’t know the pressure of playing the back nine on Sunday at the Masters, but I do know the pressure of standing on the 18th tee needing a 6 to break 100 while playing a decaying range ball because I chunked two Titleists in a pond at 17.
I assume it’s more or less the same.
