One of the all-time greats. A true pro.

Get well soon, Vin.

God bless him. What a talent.

His call in the 1986 World Series.... Awesome.

I first got to know his voice in 1960 when he announced Dodger games over KFI.

Didn’t even know he was still around, good for him. Though I don’t envy being 92 and in a hospital as things are today.
Man is a legend - and not just locally.

One of my very earliest memories is hearing my mother’s radio blasting the Dodger’s games with Vin Scully and Jerry Doggett. She was always a sports fan. I’m sure she was one of the first to greet Kobe Bryant in heaven. What a fan. Never missed a game, to her dying day.

Hang in there Vin. God help us if you die in the hospital. They would record the cause as corona-virus.

I remember when Vin Scully called NFL games for a couple of seasons back about 1983. He was great at calling football too.

Just wait. The COVID pirates will be snatching his illness to add to their data.

Listening to sports radio in LA we were blessed with: Vinnnie, Chick Hearn and Jim Healy (his 5:45 show was the best, just Kingman or Bevaqua)

The word is way overused, but Vin Scully is an icon. I am from pre-cable days and baseball on the radio was summer to me. I wasn't in the Dodgers market, but I am well acquainted with his work. Simply the best. Get well, Mr. Scully.

If I didn’t hate the Dodgers (and LA) with a passion that borders on the psychotic I’d care about him.But I do have such a hatred.

The fall was obviously caused by complications from listening to COVID-19 news. He’s another Coronavirus casualty.

There will never be another Vin Scully. Nobody could ‘take you to the ballgame’ better.

Get well, my friend.
