I wonder if David Letterman thought he’d retire before Vin Scully when they met up for this 1990 interview.
Pace of play is part of the conversation, and — go figure — so is the Grateful Dead.

“2 minutes after every third out on network broadcasts.”–Vin Scully in 1990.
The new pace of play clock is 2:25 for local broadcasts; 2:45 for national network broadcasts. This is not rocket science. The length of the game is getting longer because of commercials.

I wonder if David jinxed the Dodgers that night. Right after that interview it was all downhill for the Dodgers. We still haven’t won a World Series or even play in one.

The stolen base (or at least the threat of it) has lengthened the game…interesting.
