I'm not of fan of Vin Scully (just another announcer to me) and I think he is misguided on the anthem controversy, but to say he got apoplectic over it is a bit much. He was asked his opinion and he gave it. In short, he exercised his freedom of speech just like the kneelers.

This. I love Vin. I disagree with him on the anthem protest. But I was in the audience when asked about this. He was anything but apoplectic. To state he was is just ridiculous.

He's entitled to his view; I disagree with it. Doesn't diminish my respect for the man one iota. He will always be the voice of baseball for me.



"So this is Vin Scully, wishing you a very pleasant good afternoon, wherever you may be."

Happy birthday, Vin.

And I utterly, completely, 100% agree with your view. Well said, my man.
