In honor of Vin Scully returning to the Dodgers....



A real treat for Vin Scully fans everywhere. A kinescope of Game Seven of the 1965 World Series between the Dodgers and the Twins.

It was recently announced that Vin Scully will return to the Dodgers in 2016 for one final season. Scully has done Dodgers games since they were the Brooklyn Dodgers. Scully also did the 1984, 1986, and 1988 World Series for NBC.

Scully is a national treasure. He only does home games now, so the chance to hear him are winding down.

Thank you Vin, for one more season.

RIP Ernie Harwell

Ernie Harwell, The legendary voice of the Detroit Tigers has passed away. He was 92. Harwell did Tigers games for 42 years. Harwell will be remembered for his legendary catchphrases like:

A Double Play: "two for the price of one"
Homeruns were "looong gone!"
Called third strikes:(he) "stood there like a house by the side of the road."


Ernie Harwell gave his farewell to the fans on September 17,2009. Here it is in it's entirety.


Here is Ernie Harwell's legendary "This Is Baseball Speech"


Harry Caray, Skip Caray, Harry Kalas, and now Ernie Harwell. Another one of the all time great broadcasters is now "Long Gone!" Bob Uecker, Vin Scully, and Milo Hamilton are the only ones left that I would consider all time great baseball announcers.

In spite of it all, Ernie Harwell had a strong Christian faith which never wavered during his cancer. May God Bless Ernie's family, and may God Bless everyone who was lucky enough to listen to him announce a game.

Joe Buck Admits He Doesn't Enjoy Baseball Anymore, Enjoys "The Bacholorette" Instead

Take A Listen To Joe Buck's comments he made about Baseball.
(Video From Awful Announcing)

I Can't believe that the voice of Fox, the guy who is supposed to cover the All Star Game, this year's NLCS and the World Series is bashing baseball like this. I can't believe he would blaspheme the game like this by saying "The Bachelorette" is more interesting than baseball! I know a lot of people may not have time to watch a game every day, but they can get game recaps now due to the internet, something Joe Buck didn't have back when he used to watch Vin Scully, Joe Garagiola, and Tony Kubek do NBC's Saturday Game Of The Week.

It's already a known fact that Joe doesn't understand the strategy involved in baseball, and he should be out of a baseball booth for making comments like this.

Baseball is my favorite Sport. Why? Because I have been to a few baseball games in my time (I hope to go back to a game this year) and I love the planning and the careful strategy that is involved. I like the National League more because you have to strategize more because there is no Designated Hitter, so you have to tell your pitcher to bunt to move the runner over. I love the strategy of Baseball!

I truly believe the only reason Joe Buck has a job as a Sportscaster is because he's been hanging on the coattails of his father, the legendary Jack Buck.

If Joe Buck doesn't enjoy Baseball Anymore, get him out and put someone in his place who actually Enjoys watching 2+ hours of baseball. Let's kick him out of the baseball booth, so he can call another NFL Game just as boring as he called last year's Super Bowl and World Series.
