Vin Scully is not even the greatest announcer the Dodgers ever had. Don't get me wrong, Scully is one of the greats and he deserves the praise he received from Wlady, The man who defined baseball on the radio is Walter "Red" Barber. When Red was in the cat bird seat, you were at the game. He explained the on-field action as if you were his baseball loving friend suddenly struck blind as you sat in your seat at the game, yet so involved in the national pastime that you refused to seek help until the final out. There, at your side, is Red, setting the stage for every pitch, reminding you of the score, the number of outs, the pitch count and the myriad of factors impacting the situation. Vin Scully is great, Red Barber was the Best Ever. br> -- Steve Donohue /p> p> LEAK PLUGS br> RE: Jed Babbin's Congressional Leakology : /p>

Excellent piece. Excellent.

To not address this issue as Mr. Babbin has so succinctly stated would be a travesty. Thousands upon thousands of American citizens have held security clearances and have with good faith kept the law regarding national security.

To do any less is a crime.
