A day late for Throwback Thursday but I'll share anyway.
From 1990-1995 I worked for the Glendale News-Press in Glendale, CA. Covered HS sports and some Glendale JC games. Every now and then the editor would throw us a bone and let us go to the pro games if there was a local angle and that had to be covered for us to go.
Well, my first time ever that I went to a Dodgers game for them I was in line for the pre-game meal. Vin Scully was behind me and I turned around. He finished talking to the person behind him and smiled at me and said, "Hi young man, I don't believe I have had the pleasure of meeting you. My name is Vin Scully."
I was speechless......LOL. We ended up having a fine conversation.

I've heard that about him. Dude is so humble that he introduces himself like that because he doesn't assume that people know who he is. lol
