I have a brother-in-law who...I have a cousin who was a very successful LA DODGER 1st baseman (Sandy Koufax, Walt Alston era). Was was entranced by a white haired/crazy hatted pentecostal televangelist, Dr. Gene Scott, and became a true believer.
I don't believe Wes ever really understood what Scott was doing on his nightly broadcasts, filling a large blackboard with equations and diagrams in various biblical languages, but he made numerous appearances on the show and stood there gleefully agreeing with Dr. Scott. Scott also made lots of fantastic predictions based on his unique interpretations of the holy book.
Wes never tried to foist the Scott schtick on any of the family, and for that I am very grateful.
Wes remains the 7x gold glover and one of only 4 Dodgers to hit for the cycle since the team moved from the Bronx to LA. It'll be cool if Shohei Ohtani also hits for the cycle in Dodger blue and joins the list.
