Earlier on Wednesday, we learned legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom on November 22. It is the highest civilian honor in the United States.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest had the honor of calling Scully to inform him of the news. Here's their phone call:

"Are you sure? I'm just an old baseball announcer!" Scully said.

I know the season hasn't been over all that long, but it sure is good to hear Vin's voice again, isn't it?
