Vin Scully

Many apaeanhas been written to commemorate what Vin Scully means to the landscape ofsports,baseball,Los Angelesandlifein general.

From Bob Costas to Al Michaels to Jon Miller, announcers of all eras and regionsadmiredScully from a professional perspective. His voice was mellifluous and his style was engaging – he is, at the same time, conversational, witty, historical and soothing.

There are not enough adjectives to capture the breadth of exactly why Angelenos – and eventually all Americans when Scully ventured into NFL and golf – fell asleep with transistor radios and ear buds in their ears, listening to the man simply known as Vin.

Hired as a fresh-faced, spry 22-year old in1950, Vin Scully lasted 67 years in the Dodgers booth.

He called games in Brooklyn, and brought baseball to Los Angeles. He was everybody’s uncle, and perhaps the single mostunifyingfigure the game has ever known.
