This book brought back a lot of childhood memories for me. As a boy growing up in Fresno, California, I would listen to Vin Scilly broadcast Dodgers baseball games. Lights out was at 10pm,but my Mom who was as big of a baseball fan as I was, would ask me what was going on in the game. She would let me stay up as long as I promised to go to sleep when the game was over. Great Memories. Thank You Vin Scully.
