I was a huge Milwaukee Braves fan because my mom grew up in Wisconsin and my grandparents lived there. My cousins lived in Milwaukee. Eddie Mathews was my favorite player because he grew up in Santa Barbara, where I grew up as well. Aaron and Spahn were big favorites also. I got Mathews' autograph at Dodger Stadium in 1964. When the Braves left Milwaukee . . .

I still read the sports pages first every day and follow the Dodgers and Angels because I live in LA. I don't really root for either team, though. I am probably more a fan of Vin Scully than the Dodgers. I've been listening to Scully for 45 years.
