During Tuesday night's Dodgers win over the Marlins, Vin Scully called on his 66 years of major league broadcast experience to tell a wonderful story.
"The Miami Marlins were a Triple-A ball clup owned by Bill Veeck. Yes, that Bill Veeck," Scully recounted. "One of the things that Bill Veeck did as a promotion, he signed Satchel Paige, who was very close to being 50 years old, and still pitched very well in Triple-A. On that ball club back in 1956 was Whitey Herzog, now a Hall of Fame manager. But Whitey was an outfielder.
