RIP to Vin's wife...
I did attend Vin's last home game many years ago...It was a good experience...Vin performed a song for the fans after the game...His wife was at the stadium...Vin told the fans how much he loved his wife.
I cannot think of anybody is who is better at broadcasting a baseball game than Vin...Certainly not Ted Leitner...I sometimes listened to Padres radio broadcast done by Leitner...I got annoyed listening to him...He criticized umpires and players...He could not just describe the action.
Vin's first wife passed away in 1972...His oldest son died in a helicopter crash...
I wish him the best...He is 93 years old...I don't know how many more years he's got left...I think it is possible for somebody to die from a broken heart.

I remember Leitner - he used to do the evening sports when I was going to college at UC San Diego. He's still around?

Vin Scully = The greatest sports announcer of all times.
Chick Hearn = Number two.

You were lucky. I was stuck in the NY market for broadcast baseball games and had to put up with Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Kiner.

May she RIP.
I used to hear Vin Scully as the announcer of games when the Dodgers played and were at home in LA.
