It was such a pleasure to read George Will’s column on our homepage. It is a tribute to Vin Scully. It is beautiful and lyrical, sure. It is also true — again, sure.

I know this is weird, but I don’t think of Scully as a baseball announcer — I think of him as a golf announcer. I realize that baseball is what he is famous for. But I first knew him, and heard him, and admired him, as a golf announcer. He was just about the best.

Let me give you a related anecdote. A golf magazine was doing a series, analyzing the swings of celebrities who played golf. They approached Scully. “We would like to analyze your swing.” He said, “Which one?”

Many of us could relate to that entirely.

P.S. To “skull” a golf ball is a very bad thing. My friends and I, eons ago, when we were playing, dubbed a skull “a Vin Scully.” He definitely deserves a better association. And has them.

P.P.S. There is another Vin Scully, or Vincent Scully — the famous historian of architecture at Yale. He was born in 1920. He’s the one who made the unforgettable remark about the old Penn Station (New York) and the new: “One entered the city like a god. One scuttles in now like a rat.”
