I do believe it’s “Scully”. Not to be confused with the “skull”.. Chertoff.
Wasn’t the World Series last month...guess I missed it who won and more importantly who cares?
I could not agree more.
Vin Scully - good, but he’s no Mel Allen.
Thanks for the post. Enjoyed the transcript of Koufax’s perfect game. Don’t watch a ton of baseball - a pipe smoker’s game, IMO, for it’s pace - but have followed it enough to understand your zeal for Scully’s live commentary.
As is Chick Hearn....
Vince Scully and Jerry Dogget were a part or my life. I can still hear their voices.
In a series with Tim McCarver as a commentator, I keep the sound muted!
Vinnie ping
Scully was the best. Doggett was great, also. Ross Porter, meh. Living now in NorCal and able to listen to John Miller of the hated Giants. He’s just as good as Vin. Very easy to listen to.
My favorite day is Saturday, laying on the couch with a good book, chocolate chip cookies in the oven and Vin on the radio.
The best thing about Vin’s call was that he knew when to say nothing, or very little. Even on the radio, his spare descriptions were more than enough to get a vivid mental image of the action on the field. The new generation of play-by-play guys just can’t seem to STFU.
The WS also pe-empted The Simpsons. How many times has Vin showed up there?
