Brewer and His Screwball Fondly Remembered

I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of former Dodger relief pitcher Jim Brewer. When I was growing up, I would listen to Dodger games before I went to sleep and I always remember waiting to hear Vin Scully say that Jim Brewer was coming in from the bullpen. I always knew that when he came in, the Dodgers would win. To this day, I can remember Scully saying, “Scroogie, got ‘im swinging.”
