as a kid of the 1950’s, I used to hide a transistor radio under my pillow to listen to a late inning ball game and the voices of the game such as Scully’s.
Aww—what a way to go out. He must be a good man, because his moment and the capstone to his career truly was blessed.
He is the voice of my entire life. Never cared for baseball but I heard his voice every year. When I was little I thought his name was “Vince Gully.” I remember him on the radio from the back seat, in the back yard, everywhere. I never paid any attention to what he was saying. But he was always there. I was born into a very sports fan family. I saw the tribute at the game Friday night and it was very moving, even for me.
He said it best: his boyhood dream came true: FOR SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS! We were lucky to have him.

why isn’t he doing the playoffs?
Never much cared for the Dodgers but getting to hear Vin Scully was always a treat as a baseball fan.
As a lifelong Dodger fan, Vin Scully’s given me a lifetime full of baseball thrills. He’s called some of the greatest moments in the game.
Thank you Vinny... Thank you.

Goodbye and Godspeed Vinny. We love you. Thanks for the memories.
That’s amazing. Thanks for everything, Vin. You were the best and there will never be another one like you....
As a kid I was really hooked on the Dodgers and, of course, Scully. The older I got and listened to other announcers, the more I realized how amazing this man is.
Thanks.
I watched it most of the day, starting about an hour before game time.
What a day.
I ‘remember’ Vin Scully’s first game and being an avid Dodger fan and not liking ‘change’, I made a ‘prediction’ that he would not last.
Well, I was 10 and a few other predictions of mine went awry.
Such as I never thought I would see 30, then 50.
Now I say I will never see 150 - if I ‘make it’ at least I will be a record holder.
The ‘Old Redhead’ knew what he was doing when he ‘hired’ Scully....
#1 Vinny fan since 1960! Love you, Vin. Thanks for the memories!
