Thanks for including that clip at the end. Speaking as a longtime Giants fan, predating my move to the Bay Area, I always appreciated the way that Vin Scully called a game. Sad that MLB deleted that significant portion of his comments from whatever they showed at the All-Star game. I didn't watch either. I don't care how they end an all-star game. Don't even care if they play one. But I sure hope a HR swing-off does not become the way they end nine inning ties in regular season or playoff games. HRs are not the most exciting plays in baseball, and certainly not when they are hit off of batting practice pitches. That is TV, not baseball. May as well be watching old b/w footage from Wrigley Field in Los Angeles.
George Crowe. First Base. Stan the Man got more votes in 1957, barely. George played for the Dayton Rens in 1948-49.
