When Scully retires after the end of the 2016 season, the Baseball of Fame needs to honor him in a special way--after all, he won the Ford C. Frick Award from the HoF way back in 1982

Have you been to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown?

They have a broadcasting exhibit where you can hear all the famous calls. Russ Hodges' supercharged exhilaration in "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!" from 1951 tops them all, in my opinion.

Vin Scully is there, too. Plus Ernie Harwell, my personal favorite play-by-play guy. Curt Gowdy, Red Barber, all the great ones.

The broadcasting exhibit alone is worth the price of admission.

For, lo, the winter is past,

The rain is over and gone

The flowers appear on the Earth

The time of the singing of birds is come

And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.

Classic.
