Quote:The problem was a knee infection. Comments on game day made it sound like no one was really sure of the source. And, like many infections these days, sometimes it takes extended courses of antibiotics to knock the thing out. And worse, it might be a marker for something systemic.
Vin Scully = I never really caught baseball fever, but when the Dodgers moved to LA my mom caught it for the whole family. Vin Scully was the soundtrack for my summers growing up. Baseball game always playing in the background. When driving up to Stanford for the first time I dialed in the Giants game. Couldn\'t believe how laconic the announcing team seemed. Lots of moments with just crowd noise, which is weird when you\'re driving through the central valley and there\'s nothing else baseball to see. It\'s a matter of taste, but to me Vin Scully was baseball.
I grew up a Dodger fan with Scully on the transistor radio too and he will always be the best, but I do have to say the Giants have a good one in Jon Miller. Â
