When Vin Scully passed away in 2022, the city of Los Angeles lost its soundtrack. If you were able to deliver a eulogy for him, what might it include? What impact did he have on you? What do you carry forward from his legacy? Sixty-seven essayists—one representing each season of his career calling games for the Los Angeles Dodgers, from 1950 through 2016—reflect on the ways his professional and private life influenced them. The contributions include a range of stories and remembrances from those who knew and followed him. The consensus of the contributions is that Scully's actions spoke louder than his well-recognized words. This collection includes fellow broadcasters as well as historians, players, journalists, celebrities, and others connected to the game of baseball, with each piece introduced by sports journalist Tom Hoffarth. Readers can consider Scully's life through common themes: his sincerity, his humility, his professionalism, his passion for his faith, his devotion to his family, his insistence on remembering and giving context to important moments in the history of not just the game but the world in general, all wrapped up in a gift for weaving storytelling with accurate reporting, fellowship with performance art, humor, and connection. Tom Hoffarth is an Associated Press award-winning journalist with more than forty years of experience reporting in Southern California, focusing on sports and the media. He has written for the Southern California News Group, the Los Angeles Times, Hollywood Reporter, Angelus News, National Catholic Reporte, Los Angeles Business Journal, and Sports Business Journal. He is a coauthor (with Tom Kelly) of Tales from the USC Trojans Sideline: A Collection of the Greatest Trojans Stories Ever Told. Ron Rapoport worked as a sports columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times for more than twenty years and is the author of Let's Play Two: The Legend of Mr. Cub, the Life of Ernie Banks and the editor of The Lost Journalism of Ring Lardner (Nebraska, 2017).

Today, college basketball is a multi-billion dollar business - and the Final Four is the 2nd most popular sporting event in America, more popular even than the NBA Finals or the World Series. But in 1968, that wasn’t the case.   Before the January 20th, 1968 regular season contest played between the UCLA Bruins and the University of Houston Cougars, which became known as THE GAME OF THE CENTURY, no college basketball regular season game had EVER been broadcast nationally. It had all the drama you could ask for - two undefeated teams ranked #1 and #2, with UCLA on one of the longest winning streaks in NCAA history, the two best players in the country in Lew Alcindor (aka Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and Elvin Hayes, and a venue in the Houston Astrodome that was literally the largest stage in America. Hear all about how this amazing game came to be and went on to change not only college basketball, but the American sports industry as we know it. With guest Ron Rapoport.
