Recovering at Home, Vin Scully Just Wants to See Baseball Again

Vin Scully has seen baseball play through World War II under orders from President Roosevelt to serve as a salve for an anxious country. He has seen it return from divisive labor stoppages, including one that wiped out the World Series. He has seen it return from the terrorist attacks of 9/11 after a week of shock, anxiety and mourning. At age 92, and while recuperating from a fall at home, Scully would like to see the restorative powers of baseball again, this time from a shutdown of unprecedented length because of the coronavirus pandemic.
