The Los Angeles Dodgers where holding their annual Dodgers Caravan,a fan appreciation event where fans eat and players come do a meet and greet, at Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles in Los Angeles.
Such Dodgers as Ramon Troncoso, Ken Gurnick, Matt Kemp, Fernando Valenzuela plus many more where in attendance but arch-rival and home run king Barry Bonds also showed up to get his fingers a little greasy. Apparently Bonds had no idea the Dodgers where inside and stayed outside willing to signs some autographs and not take the attention away from the players inside
Fans came out and asked for his autograph and he was in a good mood until a fan gave him a ball and told him to sign
“In the sweet spot”
Bonds snapped saying “You don’t say that to me. I’m leaving, I got to go”
Bonds left without ever wrapping his fingers around some delicious Roscoe’s chicken.
I don’t care what the fan said, you never pass up some chicken especially Roscoe’s.
Vin Scully Will Tickle Your Ears Once Again In 2010
TOP 5 ALL TIME
Vin Scully who is one of baseballs greatest announcers of all time has decided to stick around the broadcast booth in 2010 and do what he does best, announce Los Angeles Dodgers games.
Scully who turns 82 later this month, has seen his share of amazing moments through his 60 years as a play-by-play guy. There was Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series…
“Got him! The greatest game ever pitched in baseball history, by Don Larsen! A no-hitter, a perfect game in a World Series. Never in the history of the game has it ever happened in a World Series. And so our hats off to Don Larsen — no runs, no hits, no errors, no walks, no baserunners. The final score: The Yankees: two runs, five hits and no errors. The Dodgers: No runs, no hits, no errors… in fact, nothing at all.”
And another ace for Sandy Koufax in 1965…
“And Sandy Koufax, whose name will always remind you of strikeouts, did it with a flourish: he struck out the last six consecutive batters—so when he wrote his name in capital letters in the record books, that K stands out even more than the O-U-F-A-X.”
Game 6 of the 1986 World Series which Boston Red Sox fan will never forget…
“Little roller up along first… behind the bag! It gets through Buckner!! Here comes Knight and the Mets win it!”
Scully was there for Fernando Valenzuela’s 1990 perfect game as well…
“If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky!”
But quite possibly the most important call for Scully came on April 8, 1974 when Hank Aaron nailed his 715th career home run…
“What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world. A black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. And it is a great moment for all of us, and particularly Hank Aaron.”
If you’ve never heard Vin Scully call a game then your only doing yourself the injustice, his words are like strokes of a paintbrush and it will be hard to replace greatness once he is gone but at least we won’t have to worry about that in the 2010 season.
