As a Houston native, Milo Hamilton had a special place in my heart

I grew up outside Philly. The golden voice of Harry Kalas was part of the soundtrack of my childhood. When a Phillie hits a home run, I will always hear “swing, and a long drive!!! Outta here!!!” That being said, Scully is awesome.

Maybe we should be watching and calling on announcers to say the names of the scum that kneel during the national anthum so we can keep track of who the bums are.

I noticed today that they had camo on and American flags on their sleeves. Obviosly they changed the packaging on their ‘box’ to make it look pro military and patriotic. Anyone knows that you can put fancy paper on a gift to make it look better, but the contents are what is important. They are entertainers that merely changed their costumes. They are no better than putting a tuxedo on a trained monkey. They are still trained monkies, dancing for their supper.

A predictable response from a class act.

When Lyndon Johnson heard that Walter Cronkite came out against the Vietnam War, LBJ was reported to have said “If I’ve lost Cronkite then I’ve lost Middle America”.

NFL owners - If you’ve lost Scully, you’ve lost Middle America.

I spent a summer as a computer consultant and only had a radio which I used to listen to Vin Scully.

I have the greatest respect for him.

If you tuned in to one of his games, and he starts announcing about a fly ball hit deep to one of outfields, and it goes out, you would not be able to tell by the sound of his voice if it was a DODGER home run or the opponent team...

What’s the NFL? So offensive, so easily forgotten, so irrelevant to my life.

...Ernie Harwell...

As one who lives in the Spring Training home of the Detroit Tigers, I have to agree!
