He is the antithesis of most of today's broadcasters.

Especially Ken Harrelson (of the White Sox), who announces a game like a little kid screaming for his team. lol...the most unprofessional broadcaster ever.

There've been a lot of great ones, but Vinny is the best ever. ...with Mel Allen a close second.

Well, I won't say Scully is the best ever - for me, that'll always be Lon Simmons doing Giants games when I was little - but he is one of the greats, no doubt.

Vin was no slouch at announcing football either, he was the announcer for Dwight Clark’s “The Catch” in the 1981 NFC Championship Game.
