Guy is simply my favorite PBP radio man in all sports. He is up in the 80s, so I know he can't go much longer. Tonight, he spent an inning talking about Louisiana with Aaron Hill and Wade Miley going at it. Guy is a legend.

Has Scully always been solo in his broadcasts? It's amazing how much he still has in that noggin of his.

I think Don Drysdale was his partner for a long time until he passed away.

Scully is the GOAT broadcaster. I used to mute games and pretend to be Scully when I was little.

He has been around so long, it's amazing. I think being the PBP man of a team you love must be amongst the best jobs in the world.

What are you doing, Wegner?!

He threw him out of the ball game?

You've got to be bleeping me!

He's on MLBN now and talking about how Miley used to go alligator hunting. He pronounces 'bayou' with such grace.

You're right! Talking about Torii Hunter's dad. Could not believe he took it that far in explaining his upbringing.

Listen to him as much as you can this year, its looking like its probably going to be his last. He only does games in California and Arizona now

Amazing to think he called Dodger games.........when they were in Brooklyn. Vin Scully is simply the greatest. Unfortunately, when he steps aside, the Dodgers will certainly frick everything up and go to a 3 man booth.
