As they said in ‘Sandlot’, “Legends never die.” Rest In Peace, sir 🎙⚾️🕊💫
Hero’s get remembered, but legends never die.
@@MrShowers41 You’re killin me, Smalls 😉😛
"The Sandlot"
I have not seen the movie, but I do know that, absent italics, you are supposed to use double quotation marks to refer to the title of a movie. Most importantly, the name of the movie is "The Sandlot", not "Sandlot". That's like referring to "The Godfather" as "Godfather" or to "The Deer Hunter" as "Deer Hunter". Articles matter.
@@RobbieStacks90 Pardon me…
I've been a Giants fan for over 40 years and I'm so bummed about this. We've had some great broadcasters, but Scully is the GOAT. An absolute legend. I could listen to him talk about anything. He will be missed.
Me too. I’m sad.
That means a lot coming from a rival fan. Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Here is the irony of listening and appreciating Vin Scully. I used to be a Giants fan up until 1965. They traded one of my favorite ball players at the time Orlando cepeda. Then a good friend of mine said tune in to KFI Los Angeles and listen to the Dodgers and their announcer Vin Scully. I loved the way he painted a picture with words. And he used to talk of The boys of Summer. The Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson who was always one of my favorites. Heading into the 1966 season I decided I would become a Brooklyn Dodgers fan even though they were in Los Angeles. So I guess I could say I was once a Giants fan and because of Vin Scully I became a Dodgers fan. And just think then Scully was a Giants fan. Amazing! But I understand we all loved this man even though we never knew him. All Baseball fans in the good old USA will truly miss this true American man. Full of grace in his heart. I could hear in his voice and his spirit he truly loved his fellow man and woman. And gave thanks with every breath and every word to heaven. Thanks for being a kind and gentle Giants fan for posting your comment. Be safe stay well and God bless.
Your correct and we respect giants fans. 2010 2012 2014. Behave. Honest. It took 3 giants titles to wake up LA. And 108 years for the cubs. Vin scully. ⚾⚾⚾
Dodgers giants were on the field when the news broke. Nothing fake or false🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️⚾
He was LA’s grandpa. We all loved him, every single one of us. God bless you Vin.
I can't believe it. I grew up with Vin in Brooklyn and we both moved to Los Angeles a few years apart. He not only was the voice of the Dodgers and MLB but the voice of summer. It's like a loss in the family. So much more I can say but too emotional. Maybe later. Rest well.
When we talk about unbreakable records in baseball, we think of Cal Ripken Jr's iron man streak, Rickey Henderson's base stealing, Nolan Ryan's strikeout total, and others. Vin Scully's 67 years as the Dodgers announcer is right there with the rest of them. That is an untouchable record and only scratches the surface of what he meant to baseball and all of its fans over those 67 glorious years. The greatest there was and will ever be. Rest easy, Vin. Your amazing voice will be a part of this iconic game forever.
That's not a record. That's called not getting fired.
Show some respect and take your criticism elsewhere 😒
Dodgers 2022 🤓
I'll never understand why the average person will make a big deal over a rich man they more than likely never knew or met who is celebrated in this life when it tells us in the Bible to be in the world but not part of the world because Satan is the prince and the power of the air in this world.
It would only make sense to want to know the Creator who created you because he loves you but if you don't want to know him your whole life he's not going to want to know you if you wait until the very end to go to him more than likely. So let's hope that Vin Scully repented to Jesus Christ throughout his life because I don't know how much Mercy Jesus will have on you if you wait until the very end to go to him when you've only been part of the problem in this world your whole life because you did not believe.
"It's harder for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of heaven than it is for Camel to enter the eye of a needle"
- Jesus Christ
He meant that literally because he knows just how hard it is to resist all the temptation that comes with all that money from being rich.
Mark 8:36 "What would it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own soul"
"Blessed are the poor". - Jesus
Matthew 7:13 "Enter ye in at the straight gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many are those who enter in by it"
Satan will fool the masses.
@@RobbieStacks90 For 30 years, sure. But after that, you know you are that good. A record that will never be surpassed.
Vin Scully will NEVER be equaled in His greatness. Even though I knew this day would come, it is with heavy heart and fond rememberance that I lift my glass to how much I loved Him. Rest in Peace dear friend.
A dodger legend. A baseball legend. They don't make 'em like Vin anymore.
As a Los Angeles native, my heart is broken from this news. Rest In Peace Mr Scully 😭 😭 😭
My dad introduced me to baseball
Vin scully made me fall in love with it
Thank you vin thank you
Its time for dodgers baseball
I listened to the Dodgers from 1968 on.. I remember having a transistor radio under the covers when I was supposed to be asleep up in Lompoc CA listening to Vin on KFI 640 and getting caught by my mom or dad more than once... I went to my first dodger game in September of 1970.. it was the Dodgers versus the Giants on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I got to see Willie Mays hit a home run... And I was introduced to the voice of Vince Scully again in the stadium by the thousands of fans who had their radios cranked up listening to his play-by-play... I continued this tradition well into the next 5 decades with my own kids... Thanks for making the game so much fun and for teaching us so much. You were our baseball ambassador and we will never forget you.
I did a lot of yard work in the SFV with my dad while listening to Vin Scully. What a great soul.
From a SF Giants fan may Vin Scully rest in peace.
1988 World Series Game 1 NBC TV. Kirk Gibson pinch hits on one bad knee facing the superb reliever Dennis Eckersley. To hear Vin Scully call it, it’s like God was listening.What a moment! What a man! A legend! The voice!
Dads old 1958 ford pickup turnt work truck! Vin blasting the dodgers play by play! My pops and I cruising while working! The best times ever! Thank you both!
The very best storyteller has passed. To those that listen to the pop of the glove, view the blue of the sky, and embrace the very nature of the sport... look back, and find inspiration in the talents of Mr Scully. We will continue to revisit your voice time and time again.
Rest in peace
Much love from the east side of Los Angeles
Vin, your voice has been etched into my life as a Dodgers fan from the 1970's. So many moments you were there. My condolences to your family and loved ones. Well done, Vin.
He was the Voice of Baseball for me.
one of the greats. always loved it when I heard Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola call games on TV. God bless to his Family may he always Rest In Peace.
You the man vinny REST IN PEACE NOW 🙏😔💙🕊
Rest in Peace, Vin Scully.. 😭😭😭
Vin Scully was so much a part of my teenage years. My family went to a lot of Dodgers games and we’d always take a transistor radio with us so we could hear him. He was such a constant. I always loved how his voice would rise when the Dodgers would hit a home run, “It’s GONE!” Rest in sweet peace, Vinnie. You are already missed,
This one hurts, I used to turn on the TV just to hear his voice while doing homework.
When you hear Scully and other broadcasters of he's time, the gentleman are built differently. The appreciation of the platform they have, the history and pain they went through, is just amazing. Never took it for granted, always loved what he did, and the most important thing the connection he had with fans, not only dodgers fans, but all MLB fans, also the love for the game of baseball, thats the reason he lasted so long because he was a genius at what he did. So long Scully, broadcast easy and like you said it, it would always be time for dodger baseball. LEGENDARY
The count is 2-2, the score is knotted up at 2, it’s the bottom of the 2nd, two men out, 2 men on, the deuces truly are wild tonight…. Best call in baseball, if you’ve heard it you know what I’m talking about.
I loved "deuces wild." I'm surprised nobody else uses it.
The greatest broadcaster to ever grace the both. There was no one like him when he was around. And there will never be anyone like him in the future. I was very very lucky to spend my life listening to him. Rest in peace to the GOAT.
Rest easy Scully! L.A will always 💙 you!
True legend.
💔💔 - no words.
Best voice in Baseball broadcast!!
As a Tigers fan who grew up listening to Ernie Harwell, the hole left vacant by the passing of Vin is massive...historically, locally in LA/Brookland and baseball as a sport. The man was SO good at his job. He was your guy. He knew when to talk, to set up the situation, he knew what to talk about when the action slowed, and he knew when to shut up and let the situation unfold. For many, he was the voice of your childhood, where you were from and who you were. He was your identity in some respect. Man oh man, the things he saw and described and the impacts he had on others...wow, what a life.
Started baseball with Scully announcing the Dodger games growing up in CA. He was all I knew for 30+ years and I am saddened to hear this. Los Angeles had two iconic announcers in Chick Hearn and Vin Scully. Now the GOATS are together again in the Heavens.
One of a kind and then some!! The voice!! LIVE IN ETERNAL SPIRIT ALWAYS ANGEL ANCESTOR VIN!! 🙏🏽👏🏾💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I'm not a Dodgers fan but Vin Scully was the best. It would have been a pleasure to listen to him call my home team's games. He knew when to stay silent and when to talk. The current generation of sportscasters keep talking non-stop and recite uninteresting stats when Scully would draw you in with anecdotes and interesting remarks. His insights into the game got you even more interested in the game of baseball. He was definitely legendary.
Rest In Peace Scully
Thank You for the great memories never will be one like you !!!
LA’ s Legend
Rest easy Vin. Thank you for what you did, no one will do it better
My heart hurts. 😢
Vin 💕⚾🙏
F#!@ the trade deadline 🖕 / Rest in peace Vinny 💙 we won one for Tommy now let's win one for Vinny 💙
His iconic sleepy voice was the only one I could instantly recognized growing up watching baseball games in Malaysia
Growing up in Culver City Ca. Vin Scully was the voice of my Childhood, Vinny was Family!!
On any Saturday or Sunday in the middle of summer neighbors would be outside washing their car, or trimming hedges, and you could hear the voice of VIN SCULLY describing Dodger Baseball, telling stories, and life was good!! Players come and go, managers come and go, but VIN SCULLY was the definition, heart and soul of DODGER BASEBALL, I was 12 years old, and this morning, I Hurt!! I miss you Vinny!
Most people don’t know that the Giants were his favorite team and yet he became the face of their rivals for 67 years! He couldn’t have chosen a more poetic ending than to go out in the middle of a series between his two teams.
Wow, that's interesting. Count me as one of the 'most people' that didn't know the Giants were Vin's favorite team.
Vin.....the greatest, most professional, gracious, eloquent, with the preparation that made it appear so smooth. The cerulean blue skies above Dodger Stadium will never look the same. It boggles the mind to think that the City of Angels had Vin and Chick Hearn at the same time. Both unique, and both devout Catholics.
I ❤ you Vin!
He called Hank Aarons 715 HR and did radio broadcast on CBS for the 1995 WS
And he called "The Catch" in 1982, the NFC Championship game.
The guy. For the fans forever ⚾🎙️ 💗
Loved his heart, thank you for teaching me everything I ever learned about baseball. But not only that but how to be a better human being. From a really nice and gentle soul like the coolest uncle in the world. Thank you for teaching me about The boys of Summer. And my favorite ball player Jackie Robinson. Always painting a story as I listened on the radio while doing my homework. Thank you for keeping me company when I was an awkward teenager. Thank you for all the great memories of what America could be and should be. God bless your family. And may the good Lord and Heaven hold you close forever and ever amen.
Love you Vinny. Love listening to you and Chick Hearn growing up. Rest in peace Vin!!
There will never be another broadcaster like Vin Skully. Rest In Peace, Vin.
Love you Scully!!!
No one can say bad thing about that MAN
Rest In Peace 🙏🏽
Just shows that we are all headed in the same place. ⚰ As Everything Everywhere All At Once tried to convey Jobu's nihilism, "nothing matters." The key is to think like Waymond. You fight back with kindness.
Win for Vin
Bases loaded bottom of the 9th, “Douces wild” (Vin) the pitch! Grand slam too the heavens! We love you Vin! Thank you for the memories you created!
Everyone talked to me back in the day who was the best baseball announcer of all time: Harry Caray or Vin Scully. For me, I’d say Harry Caray, but Vin Scully. He truly redefined baseball into the soundtrack of our lives. I used to live in LA, but haven’t visited Dodgers Stadium before. But it’s where the heart and soul of the game wouldn’t be the same without his memorable calls that are etched in stone. He had a wonderful career. Rest In Baseball, Mr. Scully. You will forever be missed.
The Goat!!
Vin Scully
The Brooklyn Dodgers radio announcer died so young . :) god bless him !
Young?! What are you talking about?
He was 94 and lived a very long life. Witnessed all seven of the Dodgers’ World Series titles
Rest In Peace.
I wouldn't like baseball if it wasn't for Vin 💔
Rest in peace Vin Scully
Huge loss for the baseball world. God speed, good sir!
❤❤❤
Rest in piece to the voice of LA
Thank you Vin Scully. We Dodgers fans will always remember you as the voice of baseball. You will be missed, but not forgotten.😥
The GOAT
💖💖💖💖💖
We will take you too win the series! Then flex on all teams afterwards! Dodgers!
🙏🙏🙏
He heard about Juan Soto going to San Diego........... Hate to hear it
Heaven has added a real gentleman.
We'll miss your dulcet tones, Mr. Scully.
First Bill Russell, now Vin😩 father god is taking everyone
The Baseball World has lost a Legend
Wasn't Lon Simmons.
Michael Rainey Jr is Bryce James
"Behind the bag!... it gets through Buckner... here comes Knight and the Mets win it!!"
Gentlemen
U got to be kidding me every one dying
Loved how Vin never watched an NFL game again after players kneeled for the flag.
VIN SCULLY'S FIRST DAY IN HEAVEN: "Good afternoon, Dodgers fans wherever you may be, and welcome to Heaven! I'm happy to report that I'm relaxing at a golden banquet table, along with Ross Porter and Jerry Doggett - about to enjoy our succulent, steaming hot dogs from Farmer John . . . Eastern-most in quality, Western-most in flavor."
I heard he keeled over after hearing that woman on Apple TV stealing all of his Scullyisms. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They always post at certain times for ritual purposes. First Bill Russell now Vin? Nothing's a coincidence
what are you talking about there post because something important happened in the sports world
@@Cam71718 no. I can do what I want with my YT page. Sports is not important btw. The truth must be revealed
@@nothingsnewunderthesun there’s no truth to be revealed you just believe people are the same people because there both black and look alike then you think it’s a coincidence that a sports channel is posting about deaths that impacted the sports world
Only thing I remember about Vin was his calling Gibson's game winning home run as thousands of fair weather Dodger "fans" were already on their way home, having given up on the Dodgers yet again. Shame he had to waste an otherwise fine career calling games for the Loss Angeles Dodgers. He would have been a legend announcing for a good team.
Shame on you, Boston! Los Angeles was always Dodger Town and Vin was our voice. The Lakers had their decade, but the Dodger were almost always in the pennant race, year after year for 60 years. Nobody could call a game - alone in the booth - like Vin. Even when the score was lopsided and the teams out of the running, you stuck around for the stories. Vince always called the games like a neutral umpire, never overly demonstrative for his home team. We always felt he was fair on the radio. He complimented great plays by the opposition all the time. Boston announcers could learn from the old master.
@@garymussell6543 - Gary, you're right. I don't want to impugn Vin's good name. I'll keep my thoughts about the Dodgers to myself. Peace.
Thank heavens our long national nightmare is finally over ...
that is a massive L
Rlp
He's dead ??? I thought he was already dead lol.
People caring about black problems LOL
No disrespect to Vin Scully, but at some point you have to move on from sports and consider a more cultured pursuit. Consider how Olbermann left ESPN for the mentally stimulating world of televised government and political science. Cultivate your interests. It can't just be calling baseball games for eighty years.
Politics is completely fake today! I would hardly call that a move up! 🙁
You don't do something for almost 70 years if it's not your interest. Baseball was obviously this man's life, I'm sure he lived his life how he wanted.
Is this a troll lol
You're either the ultimate troll or the biggest clown, I'll let the crowd decide...
Most ridiculous take ever. Lmao. This man’s contributions were transcendent.
