Thank you Mr. Vin Scully. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
I, similar to thousands of other young boys, vividly remember going to bed with our little transistor radio . . . listening to that voice painting a beautiful picture in our minds of the action on the field.
Mr.Vin Scully then as now always spoke of values and ethics. But it was always in terms of sports. He would call a player out for not running a play out to first base. He would describe the hustle and effort of others. He would share stories of team play, sacrifce and the desire for excellence.
I miss that very much today

For me it was the Detroit Tigers at night in northern Michigan (when the signal was strongest) in the summer time while I laid in bed listening to Ernie Harwell.............

Wow, beautifully said. Been there did that in the mid - late 60’s with my Dads rock solid little Sony 9V radio. Had to go under the bed covers to make sure the sound of Vinny, Jerry Doggett or UNION 76/ Farmer John commercials didn't carry downstairs or I'd catch an earful if it was a school night
