Here's your chance.... Lunch with Vin and Ross Porter Former Dodgers broadcaster Ross Porter, who answered your questions all season (and will do so again next season), has asked to share a unique opportunity to contribute to Stillpoint Family Resources, a Los Angeles-area charity that provides counseling to families in crisis. A news release describes the event: Bidding is now open for you and one guest of your choosing to spend some quality time in a quiet setting with Vin Scully and his longtime radio and telecast partner Ross Porter. In order to ensure the intimacy of the event, there will be only three winners, with one guest each, for a total of six people. All attendees will share one table with Vin and Ross. The lunch is tentatively scheduled for February 2016 and will be held at a private residence in Calabasas. To place your bid, please contact Jenni Porter at (818) 518-6973, or email her at jenniporter@aol.com. Bidders will be informed by email of their bid status at any given time and may increase their bid before the close of auction. All bids should be in increments of $250. Each bid is for two persons. Opening minimum bid is $1,000. All proceeds of the auction are for the benefit of Stillpoint Family Resources, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Payment of a winning bid is tax-deductible as a charitable donation. One winning bid (for the winner and a guest) will be announced on Nov. 2 at the 10th Annual Ross Porter Celebrity Golf Classic at North Ranch Country Club in Westlake Village. Bidding for two remaining winners (for two winners and their guests) will continue until the close of the auction at noon on Dec. 20, 2015. The two remaining winning bidders will be informed following the close of auction.
Always thought Ross, Dogget, Steiner, Monday, etc were all terrible. Vin and Drysdale were the only 2 broadcasters that were actually good. Only heard Dogget and Drysdale on archive because I wasn't alive yet of course.
jerry doggett wasn't great, but he was part of my childhood [no pedo] and vin loved him ross was good, but he was notorious for going on an on about how [for example] someone hits better on wednesdays, on artificial turf, after getting a hummer from a pro, if they had chicken pox as a child, had 2 siblings, raised by gypsies, under a full moon, during mardi gras, etc.................
And the opening bid won't hold. Didn't UCLADodger win the bid for lunch with Vin several years back? I think he bid $5k
speaking of which... and you can blame fordie for the picture quality i think he got the camera at papa john's @LAdiablo @DodgerLove @darth550 @LA BUMS @UCLADGR
Had to decide whether to go for the $10,000 a field level box seat is going for at Citi Field or this...so I decided to buy a new collar for my dog instead. Piazza looking strangely high- foreheaded out there tonight. The Oscar Wilde look is odd for him.
Who got blurred out between you and Bums, standing up? EDIT: Also, where the hell was I, taking a piss?
Ross was master of stats. Even at opening day last season he was guest PA for the day and any chance he could he would ramble stats. He was ahead of his time. Today's nerds would have loved him.
Speaking of looks...am I the only one who thinks Pete Rose in his suit is resembling the original Penguin from the Batman series?
side note a-rod has actually been really good [so far] as a commentator way better than pete, millar or frank thomas ibanez sounded pretty good as well
Because they don't have accents? Racist. But yeah I agree about A Rod. I was really taken back when he first appeared. Sounds like he's been doing it for years.
