After hearing about the CWS' idiots once again blaming the umpires for a perceived bad yet correct call the other day, it's good to report that Vin Scully went out of his way (yet again) to complement Fonzie tonight (7/26) on a close play called correctly at the plate. MLB.com has the Reds' feed but here's the play: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2013_07_26_cinmlb_lanmlb_1&mode=recap_home&c_id=la#gid=2013_07_26_cinmlb_lanmlb_1&mode=video
