LA Times: "For Vin Scully, the view from Dodger Stadium never gets old"

Mad props to Dylan Hernandez for the great piece on Vin Scully, a perfect set-up for Opening Day in Blue Heaven on Earth.

Vin, on the view:

"I've said it so many times that it probably wears people out. But there are those summer evenings when you're looking out and you remember the words, 'purple mountains' majesty.' You see that and you think, 'There isn't anything like this in all of baseball.' Oh, yeah, the sense of beauty is still there, for sure."

The view never does get old to me. So in a few minutes I'm heading out to the beloved Yard to cheer our Boys in Blue, chat with a few Sons and SoSG constant, Paul, enjoy the game at the time it was meant by the Baseball Gods to be played, and, for a few hours, all will be right with the world.

This one's going out to Paul's pops, whom he lost during the off-season, and to my pops, who introduced me to this view that never gets old.

Play ball!!!
