I’m 75. I remember the dodgers coming to Los Angeles when I was a kid. And then there was this voice coming out of the radio. Mesmerizing. Hypnotic. Spellbinding. That voice would weave nine innings of baseball play by play mixed with wonderful baseball stories. You could almost smell the grass on the field and the hotdogs in the stands. He taught us the game. He taught us the rules. He brought the ballpark into our homes. He taught us to love baseball. He caused something to happen for the first time in baseball. People brought their transistor radios to the ballpark, even though the game was right in front of them, to listen to Vinnie call the game. I’m tearing up writing this.
This was beautiful. Thank you.
I’m 61 and grew up in Southern California and the passing of Vin Scully is one of the real touchstones of my life.
Without question, the GOAT of sports broadcasting. Possibly the best at broadcasting period.
My Dad was 2 year younger than you. He too had the same experience and passed his love for the Dodgers and Vin along to me. I've dreaded this day my whole life. Thankfully I was speaking to my lifelong best friend and fellow Dodger fan Shawn and HE broke the news to me. I immediately had to hang up and go cry my eyes out. A part of me and a part of my childhood died with Vin. Thank you for this.
I met Vin here in Las Vegas during a Spring Training stop for the Dodgers. I work in TV and I had the job of setting up the announce booth for the teams that would play that day.
As I was putting some monitors in place, in comes Mr. Scully, we learned early in our career to be as polite as we could be to the “talent” and after I said “I’ll be out of your way in just a minute Mr. Scully” he looked around and replied “Mr. Scully? That was my Dad, I’m Vin and you are?” After laughing a bit I introduced myself and for the next hour he went out of his way to speak with an old camera guy who lived in Las Vegas but was a die hard Giants fan. He made me feel like an old friend within seconds, yes, knowing I was a Giants fan.
So two years later the Dodgers return to Las Vegas and I was blessed to be on the TV crew again and yes, doing the same job as previously I had done.
But this time, I walk into the announce booth and Vin is sitting there preparing for the game, he looks up, sees me and without so much as a hesitation says “Hey Christian! (my name) How are you? How’s your wife and daughter? Is she still playing soccer?”
I was floored…..
It took a moment for ME to gather my thoughts and I replied “ok Vin look, how am I supposed to respond to you when you know I’m a Giants fan?”
His response with a wink was “well, we’ll keep praying and trying to convert you…”
We talked for an hour and a half this time…..
I’ve been very blessed to work with many many great announcers in many different sports and I can honestly say that Vin Scully was not only the Greatest of All Time, he was also the sweetest and most compassionate man in that position I have ever met.
BTW, I almost became a Dodgers fan because of him…..
20:45 "May God give you for every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life seems a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer." Vin Scully Thank you Vin.
There will never be another Vin Scully. Rest in Peace to the icon of this franchise.
Y’all need to put a statue of Vinny and Tommy ASAP!
Rest In Power Vinny & Tommy
I was born, in L.A. in 1956.
The Dodger games were on the radio 4 or 5 days a week.
I, quite literally, listened to Vinny, every game until his retirement.
We went to hundreds of games in Chavez Ravine.
I learned so much about baseball, baseball history, and life in general from Vinny.
.....Unknowingly, at the time.
After he retired, it has never even close to being as fun, and informative to listen or watch any ball game since Vinny retired.
I am sure that ALL Angelinos share these same memories, and are truly heartbroken with A true member of L.A.s family having passed.
Rest in Peace, Vinny.
You are the absolute best of the best.
All of us Love you, respect you, and miss you.
Can't Express how much this man made to all Angelinos.
❤❤❤👍👍👍💔💔💔
Why am I crying?? Because this man is more than just a man. He is the face of baseball and the Dodger organization that I love with all of my heart. RIP Vin. We will miss you, but never forget you.
For any true blue Dodgers fan, Vin was nothing short of family. He was the loving grandpa who told you stories you’d remember for the rest of your life. I consider it a privilege to have grown up with Vin’s voice on my TV and radio
I was able to go to the last game against the Giants in San Francisco in 2016. My Lady bought My ticket for the game that week in and I saved My Dodgers cap and gave it to my Grand Daughter Eli.
I couldn't have said it any better,vin will truly be missed.R.I.P.VIN
Even though he spent 67 years as the Dodgers announcer, he was beloved everywhere, even by Giants fans. Vin was truly special.
Me too!! How can anyone not like Vin!
My dad got complimented by 9 Giants fans because of his microphone jersey when we visited SF a couple years back
Baseball fans in general loved him. Rest In Peace vinny. It’s time for dodger baseball
RIP "Little roller up along first. Behind the bag!!!"
@@willisapril “ It gets through Buckner”
As cliche as it sounds, I was indeed one of those young boys with a transistor radio tucked under my pillow, listening to Vinny call the game way past my bedtime. Because he was so great, I could SEE every pitch, every hit, every out. I continued to listen to Vin for another 50+ years after that. What a tremendous gift he gave to my life.
Well said. I was that boy too. Great memories.
Yup me too
Same here, pal. Soundtrack to my childhood -- and adulthood.
It will always be time for Dodger baseball. Fly high Vin🕊
There will never be a Vin Scully. He will never be forgotten.
I'm crying as if a family member just passed. But I guess he was family, whether in the car or at home you heard his voice for 6 months out of the year. Such a sweet thoughtful person, he was just one of those people everybody loved.
Well said.
Rest In Peace. To the greatest Voice on Sports History. Go, Vin Scully. Your voice is the voice of Los Angeles. Just like, Chick Hearn. Of the Lakers.
You're absolutely right!! Thank you!! Mic'22 ps Glad he stayed wt the Dodgers!!
The Heart And Soul Of Dodger Baseball
I learned more about baseball from Vin than any coach, team, or person I've ever interacted with. He was special. Rest in Peace and know you are loved and missed.
AMEN ❤🙋♀️🙏😇😇
The King of Baseball ⚾️!! Thank you!! Mic'22
RIP Vin Scully. Thanks for being an intricate part of my childhood. Two of the most iconic calls in World Series history, 1986 Bill Buckner Game 6 & 1988 Kirk Gibson's Home run Game 1.
My dad was at the '88 game
Vince Scully has died and something in me has gone with him. He WAS the voice of Dodger Baseball since about 1957 for me. RIP Vinny.
Vin.
We will miss you so much Vin Scully! My childhood was terrible, but memories of you announcing Dodger games made it better. You will always be one of my fondest childhood memories growing up in Long Beach. Thank you. ❤️💙😭
That is Profound, thank you, and God Bless!
Agreed. Even for those of us with toxic families, Vin made those families feel safer for a while with his presence.
It's hard to look back on a difficult childhood. Vin really was a strong, healthy presence in dark times.
He was the voice of baseball ⚾️🕊🙏🏻 Rest In Peace . He will always be a dodger 💙
When I was in my late teens and early twenties the Dodgers were on KTLA. Before every game there was a segment called "Ask the Dodgers". I was watching one day, and Vin Scully said my name, and Tommy Lasorda went on to answer my question. I still think of that as one of the best memories of my life. I was so excited. Now that they are both gone I feel like part of me is gone too. RIP Vin.
That's awesome. I remember when Dodgers were on KTLA too
God Bless Vin Scully...truly the voice of baseball games.
I’m 57 years old. I can remember being three and four year old and listening to Vin Scully call Dodger games on the car ride with my parents. He is the only voice anyone can associate with Los Angeles baseball
I am not a Dodger fan but a baseball fan who loves the history of the game so much. I grew up near Chicago where the baseball voices of Bob Elson and Jack Brickhouse and Harry Carey were the staple in Chicago baseball history. But this week I been looking at tons of Vin Scully moments in his career and I get chills and tears thinking about Vinny and what he has meant to the game of baseball I love so much. Thank you, Vinny, for all the memories and God bless your family and to not just the Dodger fans but to all the fans of baseball all over the world you were the best voice for the greatest game man ever invented
RIP Vin Scully, the greatest to ever do it. Lets win it all this year in his memory!
He will be missed. At least he got to see the Dodgers win the world series one more time.
I don't think there's a scale to accurately measure the positive impact that Mr. Scully had on countless people over the years. I have never known a life without Vin and this man is responsible for keeping me up on many school nights on the radio. "Celebrities" come and go but I am genuinely sad and miss him already.
That was also my dad back in the 60's when he didn't hear not one bedtime story but the Dodgers on the radio
A part of baseball has died today, but we will never forget his spirit and we could never forget his voice. RIP Vin 💙
Vin Scully was to baseball and to sports as cracker jacks, apple pie, peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, and everything else in between, he was the voice of reason, he was a voice who brought Joy to the world through Sports of any kind, no matter if it was baseball, or football, or any kind of sport even sumo. He could make you feel energetic. We share with all fans especially in Los Angeles today and abroad, our sense of loss too. We feel just as you feel, a sense of grief, a sense of appreciation, and a sense of pride. Before he became famous, he was a New Yorker, but when he did sports, he became a living treasure to all of us. There will never be another like him ever, he was one of a kind, and the type of mold of inspiration to Future journalists and sports commentators and so forth. Particularly this one who recently graduated from Bergen Community College who inspires to become a broadcasting journalist and more. Good night dear sir, good and faithful servant, May flights of Angels Sing t h e e to thy rest, we have the watch from here and we will continue to cheer on and enjoy baseball knowing that you left your imprint upon history in sports.
"You know friends, so many people have wished me congratulations on a 67-year career in baseball, and they’ve wished me a wonderful retirement with my family. And now, all I can do is tell you what I wish for you:
May God give you for every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
You and I have been friends for a long time, but I know in my heart that I’ve always needed you more than you’ve needed me, and I’ll miss our time together more I can say.
But you know what - there will be a new day, and eventually a new year.
And when the upcoming winter gives way to spring, rest assured it will be time for Dodger baseball.
So this is Vin Scully, wishing you a very pleasant good afternoon, wherever you may be".
-Vin
R.I.P. Vin! My heart hurts! 💔😢 He’ll be missed and never forgotten! What an amazing life he had. I don’t think anyone will break that record of 67 seasons of broadcasting.
Rest in Peace, Vin Scully. May your voice stay in the hearts of the Dodgers and their fans forever.
Rest in Peace to a Legend. So blessed to have been able to grow up listening to him broadcast Dodgers games. Gone but Not Forgotten.
The voice of my childhood. I grew up going to every Dodger home game in the late 80's. He's the voice of a generation of baseball fans and the epitome of an American treasure.
An absolute national treasure. RIP Vin. And from every baseball fan around the world, we thank you.
I'm watching this beautiful tribute to the amazing Vin Scully on a bus headed back to Las Angeles from visiting my father in Tijuana and I am losing it!! I am grateful I didn't break down in front of my dad because he is the reason that I love Vin Scully and everything about the Dodgers!! I couldn't believe we lost him yesterday! I can't begin to explain how much he meant to me and my family. I haven't had this overwhelming feeling of sadness and gratefulness at the same time. I'm trying hold back the many tears running down my face. Rest easy good sir and say hello to heaven and all the amazing people that have the privilege of having you there ✨️ ❤️ The world is much more sad now that the greatest sportscaster of all time has taken his final bow...
I have been to many events in my life, I have seen Lil Richard, Wolfman Jack, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, The Who, Grand Funk Railroad & Lenard Skinnard, Etta James, Huggie Boy, but I cried and felt like I lost my best friend tonight. We'll Miss You Vin.
Growing up in greater Los Angeles as a child, I always listened to “Vince Scully” as my grandfather said. When I turned 7 years old my grandfather, who went to Chavez ravine and recorded the building of dodger stadium and recorded it being built on his hand held, suffered a massive stroke. Much like Anthony Hopkins character in legends of the falls, he could not speak coherently and was severely handicapped. “Vince” was our bridge, he spoke to us both when we couldn’t speak to each other. Losing Vin, for me, is like losing my grandfather again. I love you Vince, thank you for giving my grandfather a voice. I will never forget you and will make sure my children won’t either.
Sad to hear this😞 Tears fell on my cheeks😢😢 When i saw the sad news in middle of the dodgers and giants game😞Thank you Vin Scully you are the best. Rest In Peace🕊🕊🕊
Vin passed away a day before my 57 th birthday. I was born August 3, 1965. On August 2, 2022 like many of you, the news of his passing hit me hard. I was a huge fan of Vin Scully. I remember listening to him on Dodger radio growing up, calling NFL games for CBS in the mid 70’s to early 80’s and to NBC baseball game of the week from 1983 to 1989. I also got a glimpse of his short lived weekday afternoon show, The Vin Scully Show on CBS daytime in 1973. I was age 7 at that time. In 1989, I met Vin in person at a Dodgers/ Padres game in San Diego when I was stationed there in the Navy. Meeting Vin Scully in personal n was one of the best moments in my life. Our 10 minute chat was the best. Stories and memories that are a treasured gem. Vin was one of the finest people I ever met. An icon and a class act. He will be missed. RIP Vin Scully!
Wow!! Thank you for sharing this and thank you for your service!! Go Dodgers!!💙⚾️
Vin was the soundtrack of my youth. So blessed to have grown up listening to Vin Scully. How lucky were we to have both Vinny and Chick Hearn? It’s been about a week since his passing. Vince was on the front page lead 3 of 4 days and front page on the Sports page as well. I don’t know if any other celebrity, president, military leader, potentate or spiritual leader that garnered such admiration and recognition. God Bless you Vinny. The excellence in your craft was only exceeded by your humility.
I remember listening to a game while lying on the couch. Vin's voice made it easy to take a nap.
One time when I went a game at Dodger Stadium, we sat several rows in front of the broadcasting area, and looking over my shoulder I could see Vin Scully calling the game. I don't think that's a memory that will ever leave me. Thank you for being my summer soundtrack, Vinnie. It will ALWAYS be "time for Dodger baseball."
RIP Vin the voice of my childhood and even adult hood you made the game so much better LA will forever love you Vin we already miss you....
Really fantastic tribute! Could say of the production team's professionalism and preparation that they full on "Scully-ed" it! Getting a glimpse of the span of his lifetime shows a lot more than his life and baseball...it's also about our history as Americans and the myriad of ways we stand together.
I was truly heartbroken when I found out the news yesterday evening. This man has been the voice for almost my entire life. His like my Grandfather,Father,best friend even though I have never met him. I feel like I knew him. I cried like a baby last night just knowing that he will not be around. I’m glad he saw the Dodgers win the World Series in 2020. Vin you will live in our hearts forever until the day we meet in heaven….God bless his Family and the entire Dodgers organization for such a huge loss. We love you Vin! God needed the best to call his games up in heaven.
He was old as fuck already obviously he was going to die
We need to win the world series for him now
Me too. I’ve been crying since. It’s like my grandpa died. I learned baseball from him. I loved listening to him for several years. My whole life
I hear you, my friend. Back in the early ‘70s, the postgame show had a “Your Questions, Our Answers” to which, you could send a question and if it was used, you’d get a pair of game tickets. I’ll never forget when I received an autographed picture postcard of Vinny on the steps of the Dodger dugout. In the same handwriting on the other side, a note said “Thanks for listening. I hope you hear your question soon! Vin.”
I have had that card with me now for 57 years and it is a most cherished possession. Vin has a most unique grin, and I remember practicing the look in my mirror. It’s funny. Looking back in family pictures from 1970 thru my teens, and even publicity shots during the early part of my own radio career, there’s me sporting that endearing Scully smile.
When I was offered the play-by-play job with the local Triple-A baseball team, man, did I lean on Vin. I realized really early on that what he did on his games was anything but easy. I had to work and dig like crazy to get material to do a 100th of the job Vin did.
In 1980, Vin was interviewed on, I think, HBO, and he confirmed that he did hours of prep.
Vinny was baseball to me. In so many ways he was a life coach, too. Vinny really loved talking to us, and that was obvious with every game he did. It was obvious when, post-retirement, he got rid on Twitter. He’d record himself chatting… maybe talking about current baseball, or things he recalled from the game he was a part of for 67 years.
I’m glad he did those pieces on Twitter. I think he knew it helped those of us for whom Vin Scully always provided civility and love in a world that has far too little of both.
Beautiful tribute. This 66 yr old couldn’t say it any better. 😢
Forever in our hearts. Thank you, Vin Scully.💙
part of my childhood gone. RIP to the legend and icon
This brought tears to my eyes and I am an adult man. His voice brings back memories of my childhood when my life was careless yet faced many family challenges. When I heard his voice and watched my Dodgers on TV I was happy for 2 or 3 hours. I was ecstatic knowing the game would be televised on open TV (wasn't very often). Thank you Vin and we love you.
This was a fantastic tribute. Hard to do justice to such a legend but this was perfect.
You will be missed but will remain forever in our hearts 💔
R.I.P Vin Scully his voice will lived on forever.
We will all miss you Vin scully
Vin Scully is the ICON in the World of Sports Broadcasting! No one and I mean no one did it better than him no matter what year or sport you are talking about! Vin Scully was and is the “Gold Standard” by which all broadcasters will be discussed and talked about! What I admire the most about Scully is the well known fact that he is the nicest person in the World! His Grace, integrity, humility and personality are epic and allows me to Love Him that much more! He was a kind and gentle soul! I will miss this Incredible Human Being! And I’m not even a Dodgers Fan!
We in LA have been spoiled. We had the best basketball announcer in Hearn and the best sports announcer in Scully. I used to turn the volume off on TV and listen to Vince on the radio when I watched the Dodgers play and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that did that. RIP Vinny and if you run into Mickey Mantle up there, my favorite player, tell him an Angeleno thinks he's the best ever.
Did the same thing.
How fortunate we are in LA. Two best announcers ever, and there was never mistaking those unique voices.
Vin Scully will be missed but never forgotten. Just like my other favorite LA broadcaster Chick Hearn😩R.I.P.
What a Hall of Fame one two punch those men were.
Chick and Vin, not only the greatest of all time in LA, but throughout the 🌎. Now they can give a "words eye view" in heaven. 🙏❤️😥
Thank You For Everything Vin (from a Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers Fan. )
Growing up and listening to all the GOATS of play by play, I found them to be ageless. It never really occurred to me that as I was getting older, so were they. I had a particular affinity for Scully and Dick Enberg (mainly from his years at Wimbledon). It is sad to these two gone from our sports commentary world. RIP Vin, millions upon millions of us miss you!
We miss you Vin. Won’t be the same without you anymore ⚾️💙
Well done Dodgers thank you for sharing this
This is breathtaking to heard last night. That our icon Vin Scully passed away last night. He was truly a legion for the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Every time we listen to the Dodgers games either at home on the radio or person. He brings joy to our heart like telling stories of each inning to makes the fans to understand the game. We are truly going to missed you Vin Scully.May you Rest In Peace. 🙏
Not only did Mr Scully called memorable baseball games, he also called "the catch", which launched the 49ers dynasty. Arguably the greatest game in NFL history. His voice was so smooth and his great ability of letting the game play out and not saying anything, and to let the celebration of the fans tell you all that just happen. A few of the blabbermouths today, don't shut up and let you enjoy the emotions of the game, regardless of your rooting interests. Thank you Mr Scully for all of the memories, RIP sir
Rest in Paradise Vin. You will forever be remembered. 💙🕊
This should have upwards of a billion views . You don't have to be a Dodgers fan like myself to appreciate his unbelievable body of work. What a life he's lived. 💯🙌
What a life he led, seeing and calling all those amazing and all the legends he watched. Rip Mr Scully.

Man this hurts. Since I was a kid we loved listening to the Dodger game and hearing Vinny on the radio. He was so impactful I remember people used to bring their handheld radios to the stadium to listen to Vin while watching the game. Rest In Paradise sir.
We'll miss you Vinny 😭💙
Dodgers Pepsi fan club!
The stories only he could tell
Baseball genius
Godly family man
We love you to infinity
And beyond!
His call of a Willie Davis home run in August 1960 made me a Dodger fan for life! I still miss you, Vin!
He was the one that made me like baseball.Rest in peace legend
Can we all please give thanks to the Giants for honoring him in the way they have? Even they know how much us Dodger fans are hurting right now, because Vin loved them too.
My dad was complimented one time when we went to SF by 9 Giants fans because of his Scully jersey
As so many others have said -- a transistor radio clutched in the hand or burrowed under the pillow -- Vin was the soundtrack to my life, both in childhood and adulthood. The greatest of all time. RIP, sir, and thank you for all of the memories. It will always be time for Dodger baseball!
The sports world has lost the most humble of superstars, a true treasure-trove of stories and anecdotes, and an Angelic voice that may never be heard again except in audio and video recordings, but thank God for those and may we never lose the blessings that God has bestowed upon us over all of those years. Vin, we love you, you will be missed.
Thank You Mr . Scully for all the memories , Respect .
We all were happiest because of you. Rest in peace and we'll always miss you.
Mr. Scully, Although we won't be able to hear your voice anymore, but we'll not forget the countless moments with you.
(As a fan of LA Dodgers from Republic of Korea)
He will be missed. The best that baseball will ever have...RIP
When I woke up this morning only to find out that the incredible Vin Scully passed away last night, I was so heartbroken 💔. I always loved listening to his stories and Dodgers games he would broadcast. He will forever be remembered in my heart ❤️. May he rest in peace. 🕊 💙⚾️🎙
He always did his homework, teaching us history, and information about every baseball player during their at bats!
This is the third time watching this today.🙏
As a born and raised Cardinals fan: Vin Scully, Jack Buck, and Harry Carey are the classic baseball announcers!❤ Rest In Peace Vin Scully! I hope you all are talking baseball in baseball heaven!❤👍
I might be on the other side of the world but that wasn't a barrier when having ultimate respect for Vin. Would have loved to shake his hand when he was here in Australia for the season opener at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Dodgers / Arizona, in 2014. I had met Tommy Lasorda when working as a volunteer at the Sydney 2000 Olympics but sadly missed doing same with Vin. What a double that would have been.
I wish his family and the Dodgers well, we will all miss him may he Rest in Peace.
There are millions of people who like me feels like a family member left us. For ever sun rise, a sunset & a promise of a new day. For everything he did his greatest achievement, was uniting people of every race, creed or color, he made us family bleeding Dodgers blue. Thank you Vinny for leaving the world a better place.
As a Phillies Phan this hits me as well… we lost harry and now vin … this just SUCKS I hate getting old but at least there will ALWAYS be new heroes for decades to come god bless you all
Why am I crying when I hear his voice today?
The "Brother" was 1 of a kind! Never again will we see another man as gentle and humble as Vinie...
I needed you more than you needed me… Vin, this world needed you. This chubby kid from Brooklyn with dreams of announcing needed you. Thank you for laying the soundtrack of my youth. If you see my grandpa up there, tell him I miss him…
9:25. Will never forget that one. One of the most dramatic home runs in Los Angeles Dodger history. Little trivia for someone who may be in a sports trivia contest. Rick Monday was the first player ever taken in a MLB draft. He was picked by Oakland in the 1965 MLB draft.
One of the last remaining American media gentlemen...RIP fella!! You did good, mate👍
We lost the best that we ever had respect Mr. Scully
Thanks for the memories and they are a lot 🥲
I will never forget hearing Vin Scully's voice as a kid in the 1990's. He was such an integral part of all of our lives.
As a Dodger fan of 42 years, I grew up in LA...Just down the street from the stadium....My memories are holding the TV antenna so my grandpa and godfather could get good reception to watch the Dodger game and hear Vin say those 5 little words " It's Time For Dodger Baseball"..... Baseball with out Vin and Tommy just isn't he same....
With a Sony transistor radio under my pillow I “stayed up late” many a night during my elementary school years listening to Vinny describe the game and allowing the crowd reaction to capture the moment. Afternoons, as a southpaw, I pretended to be Sandy Koufax on the mound facing the Giant greats. Throwing a tennis ball against the garage door to Vinny’s call and the roar of the crowd as Willie Mays struck out! Thanks for the memories! RIP Vin Scully!
Same hear. Fell asleep on school nights with his voice in my ear.
Tears!! Since I was 7 years old. Bleed blue forever!!
Vinny tell all the Dodgers players & coaches specifically Tommy L. And all the fans that are in Heaven hello for us and tell them " IT'STIME FOR DODGERSBASEBALL "
Will miss your voice , stories and your good heart for humanity
RIP V. S.
Vin was like Shohei Otani. He loved the game of baseball, he loved the fans, and he was loved by anyone who watched or heard him.
I'll miss you Vin! Dodger baseball won't be the same without you!
I was listening to the Giants game last week , I think they were playing in Arizona , when the news broke about the passing of Vin Scully . I was immediately saddened , knowing that the greatest baseball announcer ever was no longer with us . As the game continued , I could tell that the lead Giants announcer , Jon Miller was crushed . He had known Vin and looked up to him for many years , so it must have been hard to keep on describing a game while filled with grief . The discretion of the game almost came to a complete halt as he and Dave Flemming thought together about the life and legacy of Vin Scully . They paid tribute to the man they loved , telling stories and re -- living memories from the years gone by . The game became a backdrop to a Vin Scully tribute broadcast . All this on Giants radio . We didn't hear him that much up here in the SF Bay Area , but my heart goes out to all Dodger fans who loved him and will miss him. RIP Vin .
He called so many games, amazing skill and phenomenal voice!
God wanted him home again, to call games for the Angels :)
God Bless You.
Mr. Scully, thank you for everything you did for us Dodgers in LA, baseball and for me. What a picture! you painted with your words on the mic. My relationship with baseball would not have been the same without you. You will forever be dear to our hearts. Thank you sir and rest in peace old friend. 🧢💙💙💙
I hope there's a public memorial at Dodger Stadium. L.A. needs it to show Vin how much he meant to all of us.
I'm sure they will, and Vin received many confirmations of love and appreciation during his journey. He knows he was loved.
I would go to the memorial as long as we are allowed to wear our gear. I love black as much as the next person but not for sad occasions
Sept 9 2024 ... I miss Vin Scully .. 50 years old and I miss him . Can't wait to see you in Heaven alog with Coach Lasorda
R.I.P Vin Scully he will always be dodger blue
