4 generations of Dodger Baseball. He was a connection to Brooklyn, Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Dusty Baker, Fernando Valenzuela, Orel Hershiser, Kirk Gibson, and a young Clayton Kershaw.

Vin Scully called 20 No-Hitters, Raced Jackie Robinson on skates, and maintained being a class act.

Irony of him being a New York Giants fan to end up being the voice of the Dodgers.

There will never be another announcer like him.

Really didn't like this one!

First thing first - I got a bone to pick with 100A: "One with two years to go, informally" is the clue for SOPH, short for sophomore. Am I crazy in thinking that this is outright wrong? A sophomore is someone in their second year - they still have three years to go, counting the one they're in.

The theme was fine in concept - the birthday of Thomas Alva Edison celebrated with a light bulb shape and seven of "his" inventions (I know the man was a labor thief and stole patents from his workers - dunno if all of these are actually his and do not have the time to look it up, but I will be doubting so until shown otherwise), and the theme entries were interesting enough, but the rest of the puzzle was just awful as a result of the light bulb cutting off open space.

For example, the middle row with REPINE / NODULAR /ERENOW were all pretty rough entries with unhelpful clues. ERE NOW was the only one I got without significant crosses, and that's because we see ERE all the time as crosswordese. NODULAR is another word that has come up recently (don't remember if it was part of a normal puzzle or an archive i did on my commute) but I wouldn't have known otherwise, and while I'm all for learning new vocab, REPINE doesn't seem like the best place to do it when there's so much other stuff I have to look up already.

Speaking of looking up... there were way too many proper nouns in this puzzle, and certainly too many of them crossing each other. The restrictions from the light bulb shape really necessitated some undercooked entries and I was not having a good time. I understand that I don't have to know every person in a puzzle and that constructors cater to different demographics, but this was a bridge too far.

The lack of interesting clues outside of the theme entries hurt the puzzle as well. There were very few tricky clues or difficult twists, just a lot of know-it-or-you-dont trivia, which a good puzzle does not make. I came back to post my thoughts on this a day later simply because I could remember so viscerally my frustration and disappointment with the puzzle. Hope next week's is better.

Answers to noted clues:

23A: Traditional Indonesian percussion orchestra (7)

30A: OREL

39A: MER

63A: ORTS

9D: LORCA

22D: RAOUL

52D: NICOLE

108D: TOJO

77D: PEYOTE
