Seeing With Their Heart

from Vin Scully's Los Angeles Dodgers broadcast, August 17

For a split second the crowd was seeing things with their heart.

The fans gave a whoop when their man hit a high fly ball that was eventually caught. Scully turned this beautiful phrase, which is evidence of why he is the only baseball announcer who calls both play-by-play and color commentary by himself. All the souls in Dodger Stadium share one "heart," and this heart is capable of conjuring the pictures that it wants to see.
