Carols precede Christmas, birds welcome the dawn, and the voice of Vin Scully heralds the spring. The longtime Dodgers announcer, who passed away earlier this month at age ninety-four, marked the start of every baseball season of my childhood, just as he had for my father and grandfather.

He spoke to us of a game that is much more than just a game.
