Vin Scully returning for 60th season
Vin Scully will be back for his 60th season as voice of the Dodgers. The Hall of Fame broadcaster said he received the blessing of his wife, Sandy, to postpone retirement. Scully, 80, is in the final season of a three-year contract. Scully said he does not intend to re-sign for more than a year, adding, "I'm really weary talking about beyond this afternoon. . . . There's a beginning, a middle and an end for all of us. I know that I have a lot more yesterdays than I have tomorrows." Because of the amount of time his wife will have to continue to spend alone, Scully said he felt he had to talk over his plans with her. He intends to keep the same work schedule, which includes games at home and as far east as Colorado.

Remember Harry Carry Vin. When you start mangleing names and drooling all over yourself, it will be time to hang it up.

He still sounds pretty good for 80 years old.
I hope I can make it till 80 and still sound like I know what I am talking about....

Odds are slim if you're hittin' the Kessler! ;-) what up Jr? (I agree with your sentiment, hell my liver's pushin' 60 I'd guess, so sounding coherent would be a boon for me!)

I watched a lot of truly horrendous Cubs baseball in the late seventies and early 80's.........................sometimes his inane prattle was the only thing that got me through watching the Bad News (baby)Bears.

Is that his real hair or is it a "Crown Topper" ?

He and Ron Santo take turns wearing it. Did anyone hear Santo's coverage of last night's Cubs debacle? It sounded like he was told his entire family was engulfed by a gigantic sink hole while he was passing a kidney stone the size of a baseball. Sad and humorous in the same breath..........
