Dodgers icon Vin Scully will be back for 67th year

Joe Maddon, the Cubs’ manager, took the elevator to see Vin Scully on Friday afternoon. “I ascended,” he said, “to another level of humanity.”

Scully was ready with his usual bottomless file of esoterica. People think Scully has a great research staff, to provide him with anecdotes and factoids that nobody, not even in our info-loaded age, has. Not so. Scully clips and prints and assembles it all himself, year-round.

Here, Scully wanted Maddon to say hello to his mom Albina, universally known as “Beanie,” as she runs the Third Base Diner in Hazleton, Pa.
