[RED VAN HOT]

As a kid, no one disliked the Dodgers as much as I did. I collected Dodger baseball cards just to mutilate them. Scully, however, was the best....literate, fresh, perceptive. He always made the games enjoyable. As much as he loved the Dodgers, he was always quick to lavish praise on the opponents when it was deserved. He simply appreciated good baseball players regardless of where they played. He helped me, like so many, develop a true love for this game.
