The legendary Los Angeles baseball announcer, who joined the Dodgers in 1950, sat down with NESN Red Sox broadcaster Dave O’Brien during Boston’s series at Dodger Stadium, and they talked about Scully’s favorite player. And it might not be who you’d expect coming from a guy who’s called Dodgers games for 67 years. Check it out in the “Red Sox Gameday Live” video above.

Derek Fisher To Return To NBA As Player? Ex-Knicks Coach Open To Idea
Derek Fisher might don a uniform — rather than a suit — the next time he roams an NBA sideline. Fisher, who was fired as head coach of the New York Knicks back in February, posted a workout video Tuesday night that kicked off speculation the former NBA point guard is considering a return to the hardwood as a player. Sources told ESPN on Wednesday that Fisher, who turns 42 next week, indeed has been “exploring options and expressing interest in playing again.” This is surprising news, to say the least. But at the end of the day, it might be nothing more than weird offseason chatter, though Fisher didn’t rule out a comeback

Oldest player, winner and scorer at EURO
They say there is no substitute for experience and there have been times in UEFA European Championship history when this has proved the case – the prime example being Arnold Mühren, who provided the cross for Marco van Basten's astonishing top-spin volley in the 1988 final against the Soviet Union. He was 37 years and 23 days old at the time, setting a record for the oldest player to pick up a winners' medal.Muhren was fortunate because not all players can bow out in a blaze of glory. Germany duo Lothar Matthäus and Jens Lehmann set their own records on their final international appearances but while the latter had to settle for a runners-up medal in 2008, the former suffered

The segment contrasts Bauman’s plight with that of former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon, who is suing the NCAA for using his likeness in the EA Sports video game NCAA Basketball 09.
