Vin Scully is the platinum standard for baseball broadcasters. Mostly because many Americans remember him from his national broadcasts. His call on NBC of Kirk Gibson's game-winning home run from the 1988 World Series is famous for its spare use of words--he let the TV picture describe best what happened.

When Scully retires after the end of the 2016 season, the Baseball of Fame needs to honor him in a special way--after all, he won the Ford C. Frick Award from the HoF way back in 1982.

Have you been to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown?

They have a broadcasting exhibit where you can hear all the famous calls. Russ Hodges' supercharged exhilaration in "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!" from 1951 tops them all, in my opinion.

Vin Scully is there, too. Plus Ernie Harwell, my personal favorite play-by-play guy. Curt Gowdy, Red Barber, all the great ones.

The broadcasting exhibit alone is worth the price of admission.
