Listen to Vin Scully totally debunk the unlucky nature of No. 13

When you hear or see the No. 13, what do you automatically think of? Dark alleys? Black cats? General unpleasantness?
Well, think these thoughts no more. While talking about Nick Ahmed, who wears No. 13, during the Dodgers' 5-2 win over the D-backs on Thursday night, Vin Scully set the record straight about the much-condemned number. A snippet is below, but you can check out the full clip in the main video slot above:
"There were 13 original colonies, 13 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 13 stripes on the flag, 13 steps on the pyramid on your dollar bill, 13 letters in E Pluribus Unum. On that dollar bill, there are 13 stars above the eagle, 13 bars on the shield, 13 leaves on the olive branch ..."
You hear THAT, Jason Voorhees?!!
Please don't retire, Vin. How will we ever learn anything again?
