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.

BUMS MAKE IT FOUR IN A ROW OVER PIRATES
The Dodgers once again pulled within 1/2-game of first, thanks to Johnny Wright's complete-game, 0ER domination of the Pirates. Pittsburgh has scored just 2 ER in 36 innings.

#1947League trivia
There were 2 #WorldSeries champions in 1948. One was the #ClevelandIndians, whose roster included Satchel Paige.
The other: The #HomesteadGrays, who beat a franchise that signed Paige as a rookie in 1927. Name that #baseball team.

Indeed it does! The Birmingham Black Barons signed the young Satchel Paige. What song would you like to hear tomorrow, @tabletopmania ?

Not as close as it looked. And it didn't look close.
Both WAS runs unearned; Philly's ace Garnett Blair had a no-hitter through 4 1/3. Phils now a game in front of Brooklyn.
