"29,000 people and a million butterflies"
Vin Scully's radio call of the ninth inning of Sandy Koufax's 1965 perfect game against the Chicago Cubs is pure baseball literature.
heh heh -- did you happen to get today's Heardle? Not me.
I'm a little disappointed I didn't get it in one. But soon as the guitar showed up I knew it dead.
I haven't had MLB.tv for years - once I moved to Minnesota it was worthless because of the blakcouts, but I had it in NY and Texas. But when I did I'd regularly tune into the Dodgers specifically to hear Vin Scully calling the game. I usually fell asleep since the games would start at 9 CT.
It was like Vin was reading me my bedtime story, and I loved it.
Herb did the same for me as a kid growing up -- hearing his voice in my crystal radio earpiece was the best
Crystal radio FTW
Edmund Scientific crystal radio FTW
I don't recall the brand of the kit I had.
Me, too. I feel like this Apple TV+ MLB deal should include a Vin Scully channel. I would love a book / documentary that mostly focuses on sharing his interesting stories and calls.
Sandy León and Theilbar up with the club.
Joe Smith DFAed and Caleb Hamilton optioned to make room. Only one Caleb on the team at a time.
Caleb for Caleb swap.
What was your favorite Sandy León St. Paul Saints memory? Statue ceremony coming during next homestand. Congratulations to @sandyleon41 on getting back to the Major Leagues. He represented our organization with class, dignity, and respect. We will always remember you. https://t.co/OwK4rTaeQf

Pour one out for Joe Smith. He was light's out in May and God Awful in July.
Happy Joe Niekro Day!
If it's what I think it is, I was at that game.
Man this stinks.
not many things unite the tweets machine these days, but news of this injury was a collective "NOOOOO".
Hopefully she fully recovers
Is it the same knee she hurt before?
😢
I have 3 tickets available for tomorrow night's Twins game. Free. Upper deck left field line. You'll have to sit by a few of my siblings.
That depends, which ones?
Heh. The youngest ones.
