Vin & Chick, L.A sports were blessed w/ two of some of the greatest voices in sports. I am neither a LAL or LAD fan, but I regularly tuned in just to hear Vin & Chick spit on the mic w/ an unbiased affection for the love of the game. Vin was just spitting facts of the history of the game, anecdotal stories in such a soothing, calming voice while putting u front in center on the mound, at the plate, & in the batters box. Chick just called the game in a way that when u closed ur eyes, u know every detail of what was happening.
The love & care those two showed for their respective sports & the ones tuning in via radio or TV will never be duplicated, & I hate using such a word “never”, but it just won’t. These guys today do it for $, those guys did it for love.
I know we all die eventually, but man, seeing Mr Russell & Mr Scully die on back to back days sucks & is unbelievable & unreal.
