I never cared for the Dodgers but no one could call a game like Vin Scully. GOAT baseball broadcaster. RIP
quote:
“We have lost an icon,” Dodgers President and CEO Stan Kasten said. “The Dodgers’ Vin Scully was one of the greatest voices in all of sports. He was a giant of a man, not only as a broadcaster, but as a humanitarian. He loved people. He loved life. He loved baseball and the Dodgers. And he loved his family. His voice will always be heard and etched in all of our minds forever.”

In November 2017, Scully stated that he would "never watch another NFL game again," due to some of the league's players kneeling during the playing of the national anthem prior to games

He worked for the Brooklyn Dodgers from ‘50 to ‘57 and then moved with them to LA for the 1958 season.

A masterful story teller. We were all enriched hearing his commentary while calling games.

Damn. I have great memories of my grandfather and I listening to him (in the backyard) on the radio. RIP Mr. Scully

Sad news to those of us that grew up with his voice in the background. He seemed like a good man. He had a wonderful way to broadcast.

Greatest story teller of all time. I loved when he talked about the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field, and meeting Babe Ruth as a kid. What a life.

Been a Dodger fan all my life and Vin WAS the Dodgers. Very sad day he will be missed. Great broadcaster but even greater human being. RIP Vin.

I got a kick out of a call back in 2007. L.A. acquired a Taiwanese player from the Mets named Chin-Lung Hu. In his third game as a Dodger he singled. Scully took a deep breath and said, “OK everybody. All together … Hu’s on first!”

Fook mi, that was a good run. Fell in love with baseball watching the first Yankees' series without Ruth, did a job he loved (probably "never worked a day" in his life) for 67 fricking years.
