A nice piece by sports media columnist Tom Hoffarth in today's Daily News (Los Angeles), featuring Mr. Schwartz, can be found here. (http://\"http://www.dailynews.com/Stories/0,1413,200~29583~2867094,00.html\")

Good to hear the Vin Scully shows are still extant.  Where do I apply for the assistant archivist job?

Schwartz has one of the best jobs in the world. I do agree with him on the point that you couldn't do a Don Drysdale on "To Tell The Truth" today - athletes back then were just names in newspaper boxscores, or intoned by the likes of Red Barber or Mel Allen on the radio.

I'll second the "nice article" emotion, but I must admit I got a kick out of Steve "Psycho" Lyons' blunder.

I was also relieved to see that all editions of "The Vin Scully Show" still exist somewhere.  If only some sports-related cable channel would put these on.

I'm old enough to have vague memories of it (mostly, I remember that it wasn't a game show, and was therefore taking up a half hour in the morning that could have gone to one).  My memory is that it wasn't really much of a sports show at all, more of a general celebrity-driven talk show.
