Scully and Wooden Together

Via Baseball Toaster, I just read this quick article
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-simers28apr28,1,1248649.column
from the LA Times.

Apparently T.J. Simers has finally worked out a way to get Vin Scully and Coach to speak together,to benefit the Mattel Children's Hospital.

Apparently the two are going to speak at the Nokia Theater, for charity, and it should be a really cool discussion. According to Simers it'll be set up in an "Actors Studio" type setting, and should be a memorable experience for all who attend and listen to the two speak. These two figures will undoubtedly be remembered as the face of their athletic team, and I can only imagine the types of stories they'll share with each other. The Dodgers and any UCLA basketball team will always be the two teams closest to my heart, so I'm especially excited about the idea of these two coming together to share their knowledge with the city.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

Can't wait

Saw coach Wooden a couple of years ago at a local benefit for a children's center that helps abused kids. He was 94 and amazingly sharp. Seeing him and hearing him talk was truly a moment in life that I will never forget. Can't reccommend it enough.

Not to forget

Vinnie is one of my all time favorites. For me, he is the voice of spring. I hear him, and all is right on the planet. One of the reasons I've been a Dodger fan my whole life.
