Vin Scully, from last night's telecast:
[after a shot of Clayton Kershaw talking to Hiroki Kuroda]No language barrier between two pitchers.
Ball three.
I always remember the first Japanese pitcher, Masanori Murakami. Came over with the Giants. Didn't speak a word of English, and the manager was Herman Franks.
Little ground ball to Adrian, they'll get the out.
And they taught him to say something whenever Herman came to the mound. What did they teach him?
When the manager came out, he said, "Take a hike!"

I also like how the third out came right after Vinny began telling this story, yet he was able to abridge it perfectly before the cut to commercials without it seeming rushed. He has an amazing talent for that.
