My New Favorite Letter to the Editor

I suppose I never really had a favorite letter to the editor, so forgive the title, but for whatever reason, this letter moved me a bit. Maybe it's because of my upcoming fatherhood, or my dad and I talking about baseball every chance we get. For whatever reason here it is:

I am among the countless Dodgers fans who, as a boy, slept with a transistor radio under his pillow, furtively listening to Scully. After I confessed my disobedience years later, my father feigned surprise and then said, "Son, why do you think you never had to change the batteries?"
Steve Ross, Sherman Oaks, Calif.

This was in this week's Sports Illustrated in response to an article about Vin Scully, the long-time radio announcer of the Dodgers. Good stuff.
