I’m a native Southern Californian born in 1961 and Vin Scully introduced me to baseball. I would sit with great uncle Dan who fought in WWI and listen to the broadcast on the back porch in West Covina.
Agreed. Doesn't matter which sport: MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL...the best television broadcasters got started in radio where they had to rely exclusively on their words. These guys always had you sitting on the edge of your seat because they had knack for making each and every play seem crucial to the outcome. Unfortunately this is a dying breed.
I never thought I would say Vin Scully was wrong about anything, but he was dead wrong about fans missing an announcer for a year. I missed Vin from the day he retired until today…and I will miss him forever. It was the privilege of my life to grow up listening to Vin paint the picture of every Dodger game I listened to or watched. It was so much a privilege that I took my handheld radio to every home game I attended so that I could hear Vin describe what I was seeing with my own eyes. That is how great he was at his craft. Watching the game without Vin’s voice describing what I was seeing would have simply been a lesser experience. Today, several years after his retirement, all I have to do is hear one note of his voice and my heart is filled with the love, care, and humanity that Vin instilled in me and exhibited himself for the games of baseball and life. There never will be a baseball game as good as those which I listened to Vin describe. Vin, I missed you then and I miss you now, as you provided so many beautiful, happy experience in my life by simply describing what I was seeing in a way no other could.
If I could relive one evening in my life, I would be 11 or 12 again in St. Louis listening to Joe Garagiola, Jack Buck, and Harry Caray after a supper of sloppy joes and Kool-aid, in the backyard evening shade, and among the floating fireflies. Musial drives in two runs with a double in the 9th to win the ballgame.
Starting when I was 8 years old, Vin Scully TAUGHT ME so much - not only baseball, but geography, and time zones, and so much more. What a treasure Los Angeles got when the Dodgers brought him along from Brooklyn. Vin Scully WAS the Dodgers! What a mensch! Check out his call of the 9th inning of Koufax's perfect game - a masterpiece of pitching and a masterpiece of announcing: th-cam.com/video/9uozLFsEPu8/w-d-xo.html

Two golden geniuses.
The greatest late night show ever hands down... got through many a late college night eavesdropping on Bob's always fascinating conversations
greatest alltime announcer
I could listen to hours of this.
Two of the Best in the Business...Scully & Costas.
without question!

Beautiful stuff...such a humble guy.
Costas was right about the Dodgers broadcast KFI had the strongest signal that could be heard for hundreds of miles.
12:13 love Vin sharing this story..."what makes you you, is you!"

amen, mine would be Gibby pitching a shutout. Life was so simple then. Gawd, how'd we go so wrong?
@@chrispaul7849 No, it may have been simple for people like you and me, I am pretty sure it was not simple for people like Bob Gibson.
12:54 'But you are a baseball fan?' - 'No, not really' - let that sink in folks..
