Fine work from Roger Kahn

The other reviewer is a bit confused. Dropping an i or an e is likely the work of a typesetter. Dave Halberstam's mistakes, noted by Bill James, are of a different order. Halberstam writes that in '47 Jackie Robinson ran wild against Yogi Berra, leading Berra to ask to be turned into an outfielder. Actual fact: during the 1947 World Series Robinson stole a total of one (uno) base, while Berra was catching. As for Scully's first name, he and Mr. Kahn were both covering the Dodgers in the 1950s and one does best to assume Mr. Kahn called him Vince.
