Thanks for the memories guys.

Vin Scully is the last living active link to the Brooklyn Dodgers. He started calling games at Ebbets Field in 1950.

I recall the early days at Dodger Stadium in LA when fans would bring their radios so they could listen to Scully’s play by play at the game. He is the best.

Baseball bores me, but Vin’s voice is so comforting as I have heard it my entire life. Amazing. Congrats.

After Kirk Gibsons’ Home Run in the 88 World Series:

“You know, I said it once before, a few days ago, that Kirk Gibson was not the Most Valuable Player; that the Most Valuable Player for the Dodgers was Tinkerbell. But, tonight, I think Tinkerbell backed off for Kirk Gibson. And, look at Eckersley—shocked to his toes!”

What’s really amazing is that I’ve watched games on TV where there’s THREE announcers that can’t do the job that Vin Scully can. He is without a doubt the greatest announcer of ALL TIME. How many of us could announce an entire game alone, let alone at the age of 82? I couldn’t.

Vin Scully doesn’t understand Troy Tulowitzki’s mullet.

I hope he goes until 100.

This is great news. There’s little better than listening to Vin Scully call a game on a warm summer evening.

Rare Photos of Vin Scully

Unfortunately the pics go back to only 1964. Still a fair collection, though.
