I have learned to appreciate the fact that Vin Scully was able to appreciate the talents of players on the other teams as well as his own. Relocated to Southern California from Pittsburgh, it was great to hear Scully praise 'the great one' in our right field back in the 1960s. Beyond that, what a fine man he is, he appeals to the nobler emotions and strivings in the human psyche. I will try to be more like him...classy and brilliant.

"Deuces wild: two on, two out, two - two the count." My favorite Vin moment happened here in Arizona. The Dodgers' pitcher Duaner Sanchez threw his glove at a batted ball knocking it down. The umpires then did the circular hand motion, calling the batter safe and awarding him third base with a triple. Vinny came on Phoenix television the next day, and said, "I have never seen that." Hence, I appreciated the oddity I had witnessed at the ballpark and how special it was.

Skip Carry was my favorite basketball announcer! In the late 1960s when the Atlanta Hawks were still in the Western Conference, on my transistor radio, in my bedroom, in Brooklyn, New York, I was able to pick up the Atlanta Hawks late night west coast games against teams like the Los Angeles Lakers. I enjoyed Skip Carry's play by play much more than Merv Albert's.

One reason Roy Firestone never made it on a national over-the-air network is because (at least for a time) he had a forehead the size of a postage stamp, which distracted viewers from what he was saying. You could say he had a forehead for radio.
