I'm going to miss Vin when he retires/dies.

An in-game baseball history lesson!

I hate the Dodgers, but man, major respect to that man.

On a totally unrelated note:

How many time do you think he's been called "Vince"?

yep, I think we have Puigy to thank for that. I think if the Dodgers were playing as bad now as they did in April/May, Vin would have said enough and retired at the end of this season.

I do love the Vin drama each year - he's got a lifetime job guarantee with the Dodgers and it's up to him like a free agent each August to decide if he's going to come back or retire so the Dodgers and their fans have a day of celebration each August when he makes the decision.

As for "Vince", I can't imagine it happens much lately. From the stories and articles I've read, I seem to recall it happened frequently in his early years but I guess fans have cut it down to "vin" as time went on and it's stuck for years now.

I heard he has caught 57 foul balls. In the press box WTF

seems reasonable. About one per season of broadcasting on average. I bet it's probably a spotter or production assistant catching/deflecting them and the number is probably how many have come into his broadcast booth, not necessarily the number of foul balls directly targeting him, though.
