Posted by #4 Sea Beach Fred on Tue Sep 1 00:18:04 2015, in response to Re: Vin Scully says next year is probably his last as voice of the Dodgers, posted by Karl B on Sun Aug 30 22:19:43 2015. Karl---I most certainly remember both Connie Desmond and Ernie Harwell. Desmond was Red Barber's partner in the postwar years and when Red left the Dodgers after the 1953 season after dueling with that asshole O'Malley, Connie was supposed to become the No. 1 man and he did in 1954 but there was that serious drinking problem of his and in 1955 Vin Scully became the No. 1 man in the broadcast booth. I think Connie has taken a leave that year and finally left for good around the first of September, 1956 and was replaced by Jerry Doggett.As for Harwell I mentioned him in a post yesterday. He was with the Dodgers as No. 3 man from mid 1948 to the end of the 1949 season when he then went to the Giants. |
