Here, as an early Christmas, late Hanukkah, and any other time gift, is the Dodgers 1959 season as viewed through the lens of Vin Scully. The above recording is side one of the record and here’s the link to listen to the side two. I also didn’t bother trying to clean up any of the vinyl scratches and pops as I thought it gave it a warm, authentic feeling. Maybe you’ll enjoy them.
And if you’re a person who wants to listen to both on the go, here is the album available for download to your personal computer or on-the-go device product. Now don’t say I never did anything for you.
Have a great holiday filled with music, laughter, and plenty of Egg Nog!
Have a Scully Vinmas.
Torres [is] an excellent baserunner. Especially interesting since he grew up without shoes.
