Welcome To Case's Column

Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken. Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.

In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.

Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!

Regards,

case44

Scully Will Be Missed In The Baseball Landscape

Posted 09-28-2016 at 09:38 AM by case44


I couldn't help myself. For a couple of weeks now, I've taken a little time to listen to other major league baseball teams on my computer when the Astros weren't on. One time I have had to pay more attention to was the Los Angeles Dodgers.

There was this legendary play-by-play guy who'd been part of the organization for sixty-seven years, doing both radio and television. This week marks the end of a very long era, but wow! During that era, he'd also provided storytelling in other sports such as football and golf, and he even spent time on NBC-TV's Game of the Week.

Vin Scully is stepping down as the voice of the Dodgers.

Yes, he's done with Dodger home games (he will not participate in the playoffs), and he will travel with them to San Francisco for one more series against the Giants before he rides off into the sunset.

Vin, thanks for so many great memories, stories, and highlights. We will miss you!

Here are a few links with some legendary Vin Scully moments. Partake, if you will.

    First, Bill Brown retires in Houston, and now, Vin Scully with LA. Two of baseball's best.
