Took in my first Dodger’s game (at Dodger Stadium) in 1967 when I was 7. We then moved to Tucson and I’d fall asleep listening to my little transistor radio which picked up the LA station. Can’t remember the number of times I fell asleep to Vin Scully. What a sports broadcasting icon!
Per ESPN:
Magic Johnson is not planning to attend the Los Angeles Dodgers home opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday afternoon. Instead, the new owner of the Dodgers will be in New York City, where his play Magic/Larry is opening on Broadway this week, according to the team.
Johnson’s group, Guggenheim Baseball Management, entered into a $2.15 billion agreement to purchase the Dodgers two weeks ago. He attended the team’s Opening Day game against the San Diego Padres last week where he sat next to outgoing owner Frank McCourt, at McCourt’s invitation.
As part of the sale agreement filed in court last week, Johnson and his group are reportedly prohibited from making disparaging remarks against McCourt or his family in the future. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Get well soon, Vin! It ain’t a Dodger game without you!
L.A. may have had a lot of problems but it was blessed with Vin Scully (and, yes, Jerry Dogget) and Chick Hearn.
Vin’s acceptance speech for the hall of fame was one of the most inspirational speeches of any kind I have ever heard.
He sure is. I met him once, in 1959 when I was 9 years of age, at a Dodger game at the Coliseum in Los Angeles.
Vin is a legend here in LA. God Bless him and I hope he feels better soon. Vin Scully and Chick Hearn are broadcast legends, we already lost Chick, Vin is the only one left. Feel better Vin I am praying for a speedy recovery
I’m a Tiger fan so for me it was Ernie Harwell who made the game come alive.
Vinnie made you feel like you were there even when you were there. In the early years at least one could hear Scully’s voice in the Colosseum from the hundreds of transistor radios people that people brought to the game. Made the game better.

I held my breath when I learned that Vin had missed the Dodgers' home opener, but as he now seems to be fine, I'm SO glad he's back up in the Dodgers' broadcast booth!
May "our" Vin enjoy many, many more happy and healthy years! God Bless Vin Scully...
I’ve always like Scully. One of the best.
I’m also happy the Braves took two out of three with 9th inning rallies. :o)
