Devon Travis Jersey the title of author Roger Kahn's cla sic book about the 1950s Dodgers. He had a front-row seat to their greatne s.As I watched the video of the news conference and heard Scully spin those tales, I couldn't help but think, "Goodne s, Vin still has it. He could still go up to the booth, armed with his voluminous notes, and do nine innings."Scully harbors no such fantasy."No. I'm done," he said succinctly with a smile."I think (retirement has been) easier than I thought because I'm totally and completely at peace," he said. "It's a remarkable feeling. I just know. It's not like, 'Gosh,

No, none of that."MORE: Scully spent opening day doing errands"I'm at the right spot in my life at the right time," he added.Of course, no Scully media se sion would be complete without the type of oratory that made him a national treasure lyrical, literary even.
