Vin Scully, Mike Matheny, and the tale of the bird poop - A Hunt and Peck

Sunday marked a special day for Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully. Perhaps it is not so special to him anymore, perhaps it is more so, but regardless, it was a milestone day. Sunday, November 29 was the eighty-eighth anniversary of Vin Scully's birth. Earlier this year Scully announced that he would be retiring after this season. There are only a few more Scully-isms left. To honor Vin for his birthday, let us enjoy this classic from 2014.
