Poor Rebecca Hall. While the KTLA sports anchor was able to rip off a pretty impressive recitation of Vin Scully's career milestones on Sunday, no one is going to remember her Micro Machines routine after her attempt at a story-ending joke misfired in the biggest way.
Warning: Earmuffs if you're around children or kindly old baseball broadcasters.
In case you can't watch the video, here's the transcript of Hall's story of Scully returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013:
"So for 63 years, he's been the voice of the Dodgers, since Harry Truman was president. He's described Jackie Robinson, the Brooklyn Bums, the '55 champs, Don Larsen's perfect game, Sandy Koufax's four no-hitters, Fernandomania, Kirk Gibson and seven world championships. Phew. (wipes brow) C'mon Vin, get your @#$! together! Is that all you got? ... Get your stuff together, that's what I meant to say."
Hall hasn't apologized via her Twitter account just yet, but her feed does reveal a reason why she might have been on edge and prone to making a mistake: There were wolves in the studio!
Also, this clip makes me wonder if Scully has ever slipped up and let a swear go by in the thousands and thousands of hours he's spent doing radio and television. I'm guessing not, mostly because he has his @#$! together.
