Dan McLaughlin – My Uncle Vin Scully

Dan McLaughlin is a Senior Writer for the National Review. He's also known as Baseball Crank on Twitter and from his long, long history as blogger. Dan is a frequent guest on the Break It Down Show. Usually we're discussing his writing for National Review...however, today is different.

When Vin Scully, the Dodgers long time, 67 years, announcer passed, everyone posted their best memories of Vin. We all celebrated a life well lived and packed with memorable events, quotes and stories.

Vin was a hero-as he was to many of us, Dan included. For many of us in the US Vin was like an uncle...but Scully WAS Dan's uncle. Which gives Dan the most interesting perspective on the family and origins that made the man.

Dan has been on the show often enough with Pete A Turner, we've stopped tracking the number. Suffice to write, all of us here at the Break It Down Show love Dan, extend out condolences and appreciate him spending some time with us today.
