When Vinnie said he couldn't wait to say 'Who's on first,' I laughed for days and listened closely waiting for it to happen. The moment would be too priceless and it was.
I'm still laughing, and so is Scully. Chin-Lung Hu can't do anything without us being able to hear the chuckle in Scully's voice. The only times he suppresses it is when he says the shortstop's full name.
As long as Vin Scully calls Dodger games and there are kids out there to listen, they will they will not only learn about America's pastime, but Scully will teach them about Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First," which is perhaps the most famous comedy routine that has been immortalized in comedy history.
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are also the only two men who never put on a baseball uniform, or played for any professional baseball team, who have been inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
Perched in the audience in comedy heaven, Abbott and Costello must be smiling down on Dodger Stadium, Vin Scully and Chin-Lung Hu, because now an entire new generation of fans will get in on the joke, and finally...Who's really on first!
