Dodgers have ups and down, but Vin Scully is always a hit.

Vin Scully was honored last Friday by the Pacific Pioneers Broadcasters. Scully has been bringing the word picture of the DODGERS games to the listeners in Los Angeles, mainly on radio, but on t.v., too, ever since 1958, when they came here from Brooklyn, N.Y. He also has done excellent jobs announcing NFL Football and PGA Golf, too.

There's a feature item in today's laradio.com website, with Don Barrett, site creator, covering that lucheon event. He presents a lot of information that the average listener may not even have heard about before. Several other notable figures in sports, radio and news were there to give comments about the honoree, Vin Scully, and Vinny also has some good stories to tell. Check this out at www.laradio.com that is offered free for the month of NOVEMBER (see the "link" in the left sidebar here).

There are only a few more days left and then it goes back to being the subscription website. The website contains 11 years of archives of the past columns that you can check through meanwhile, and, subscribe for a relatively low price yearly price and monthly, if you feel that' better. If you compare the plans offered to a lot of other things, it's not a bad deal. Today's stories are the kinds of things you won't find elsewhere, and it's a fresh edition Monday through Friday at 7 a.m.
