#1947League trivia question:
#MLB accepted #BlackLeague stats, so there are now several years in which #baseball fans have TWO #WorldSeries champions to celebrate.
The Tigers beat the Cubs in one Series in 1945.
Who won the other Series that year?

We were talking about #VinScully and what made him such a special #baseball announcer. Just listening to one of his games (2014, Kershaw vs. Rockies) and realized what one of those things was. NO DEAD SPOTS! No long leisurely pauses. He filled all the available time.

Have a listen and see what I mean. #VinScully talked #baseball for two and a half to three consecutive hours, without stopping, for a living...and he did it better than anyone. No dead air.
*87 YEARS OLD* when he called this game. Unbelievable.
