He was almost as good as Ernie Harwell.
Vinny is one of the class-acts of all time. I was turned on to baseball by the 1960 Pirates’ victory over the Yanks in the World Series. I learned to love the regular season the next year, 1961, as I was able to pick up the Dodger night games on KFI as a teenager, even though we lived nearly 600 miles away.
He is probably baseball’s greatest ambassador. His melifluous voice was addictive back then, and it still is, 50 years later.
Years ago, my father worked at KTTV, the Los Angeles station that broadcast Dodger games. I accompanied him one weekend to San Francisco, where I had the pleasure of sitting in the announcer booth with Vin Scully. I was astounded at how much information he kept in his head, not in writing. Years later, I worked with him on promotional announcements taped for later broadcast, and was amazed at his ability to time his remarks for a given period of time. Certainly one of the greatest announcers for sports, or anything, for that matter.
The. Best. Ever.
He is the greatest!!!!!
I’m sure we all have our favorites, but Vin Scully really was the best there ever was and the best there every will be a calling a baseball game.
One thing I miss about baseball season when I was living in Alaska for few years Vin Scully voice
How good is he?
Fans filling Dodger Stadium, with radios to their ears, listening to Vin Scully call the game being played in front of them.
I love Vin Scully! Listened to him for many years. But my all time favorite is Bob Prince, who broadcast the Pittsburgh Pirate games when I was a kid in Da Burgh back in the 60’s and 70’s. I was a student of “Gunnerisms” as a kid.
Love you Vinny ping.
