This is the way the Dodgers should send Vin Scully out. They're fighting with the Giants for a title, just like they did in their great race in 1951.
That was Scully's second year working alongside Red Barber in Brooklyn, and it ended with heartbreak for the Dodgers when Bobby Thomson hit "The Shot Heard Round the World" off Ralph Branca. Who knows what this year's back-and-forth race for the National League West holds.
With six weeks left in the season, Los Angeles is one game ahead of San Francisco in the division, and the two rivals meet nine times, beginning with a three-game series at Dodger Stadium from Tuesday-Thursday.
