On today's lesson: Vin Scully was what baseball sounded like for over six decades. He landed a job as a Dodgers baseball announcer shortly after graduating college and stayed on with the team for 67 years until he retired in 2016. Vin Scully recently died, so this lesson is all about remembering his life’s work as a broadcaster. Plus, learn “treat someone to.”
