“I’m especially blessed to be able to listen to Vin Scully call games out here in LA.”
Simply put, the most talented man ever to man a microphone, in the history of sports. There are many who are good, and some who are great, but he is in a league of his own. My dad has been a Dodger fan since he was a young boy and they were playing in Brooklyn. I spent many a lazy evening laying next to my dad on his bed, listening to Vin Scully paint a picture of what was happening on the field. Truly great memories.
I have fond memories of Vin Scully, too -- but I gotta disagree with this description. Maybe I'm biased because I'm a hockey fan, but I'll go with Foster Hewitt (he broadcast hockey games for the CBC for 40 years up until the 1960s). It's a heck of a lot harder to do radio broadcasts of a hockey game than a baseball game.
