Not even debatable. Best baseball announcer ever. Period.
Correction, best sports broadcaster ever. No one comes close.

@@southsider3542 he’s 2nd but he’s a universe behind Vinnie Baseball and he would agree as well.
@@mannyalvarez9549 It's pretty close. Both of them did baseball and football, but Vin was better at baseball and Al was better at football
I’m
From Saint louis, listened to Jack Buck my whole life. But you are correct, sir. Vin was the best ever. Miss him calling the World Series for sure
He taught me baseball.
He taught me dedication.
He taught us family.
He taught us joy!
Love you Vinny!!!
1 year after his death, my heart still aches. I will forever miss him and his voice.... May he rest in peace.
I'm not a Dodgers fan, but I am a baseball fan. I'm only 32, but I have a lot of fond memories of hearing the late great Vin Scully call a game or two. I also remember as a kid playing the MLB videos games with Scully on commentary, and those hilarious phrases like "Good night Irene, Home Run". A sad day in the world of baseball for sure, Scully will forever be missed.
I'll always root against the Dodgers, but Scully is the voice of baseball.
I’m not a Dodgers fan, but I have to say that Vin Scully calling games is so iconic.
@M cool
He will forever be the goat 🐐 of baseball ⚾️
so what!?
I'm a dodgers fan in south of korea.
Thank you so much and I will remember.
May his soul rest in peace.
There are many baseball fans in Korea who commemorate you
thanks for your support. We all love Vin. Much love from the USA 💙
Thanks! We welcome you. No matter where you come from, it will always be time for Dodger baseball.
I'm a huge phillies fan. But a huge baseball fan even more. And I'm only 27 years old, I always loved Vin scully the broadcaster. And his infectious personality. My favorite Vin scully call even though it happened 6 years before I was born. Was the Kirk Gibson walkoff Homer against Dennis eckersley. "In a year that has been so improbable the impossible has happened." Vin scully was and always will be the greatest broadcaster of ALL TIME. NO doubt about it. Sad sad sad day for baseball and dodger fans everywhere. I send my condolences to Vin scully's family. Rest in peace Vin scully. My heart aches over this news.
"Vin Scully was and always will be the greatest broadcaster of ALL TIME." Ditto.
As a kid growing up, I lived in Northern California. I had a little red transistor radio that I would sneak under my blankets and listen to Vin Scully and the Dodgers....it wasn't a great signal, fading in and out but his voice would tell me all I needed to know.
He wasn't a "homer"
He described the game like a fan, even when playing the Giants!!!!!
Thank you Vin, for a lot of childhood memories!!!!!
"It's time for Dodger baseball!"
As a kid growing up in socal I was sometimes forced to listen to Angel games or those homers in the TBS booth... I hate Vin Scully because he made/makes it so unpleasant to watch/listen to a Dodger game. goat...
Are we not men? We are Devo!
@@mr.mertman5711 Nice catch, nocal! BTW, as you probably know, Vin's favorite team as a lad was The Giants. Sorry for your (our) loss.
"The beginning was the end... of everything now".
Vin Scully will always be known as a Dodger G.O.A.T.
G.O.A.T. period, not just the Dodgers.
@M So what? We're speaking about a man, not a sport.
@M bro you are delusional 🤡😂
@M God save us! Soccer: The ONLY sport where you can't use your hands. Sometimes 4 billion people CAN be wrong...
Imagine Vin Scully Calling Albert Pujols's 700th Home Run "That Ball Is High And Deep Pujols Has Done It! Number 700 For Albert Pujols You Can't Write An Fitting Ending To Pujols's Career Than That Homer"
There will never be another Vincent Edward Scully 🎙💙💖💔
He will be forever missed 😢 November 29, 1927 ~ August 2, 2022
Vin Scully was not just the voice of the Dodgers ......he was the voice of Baseball!
His combined knowledge of Baseball and the English Language allowed a fan to sit back and just listen ....you didn't actually have to watch to know exactly what was happening on the field of play!
"I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things!"
That was Vin Scully!
A sad day for Baseball but also a day to celebrate and remember that iconic voice! 😢👍
my opinion without prejudice 🦂🙏
As a lifelong Dodger fan, I am just devastated. I knew this day would come, but always hoped it wouldn't.
exactly
Articulate humble calm smooth yet enthusiastic the Mozart of broadcasting baseball 6 decades of excellence there will never be another
Lifelong Dodgers fan here. Loved nothing more than turning on KTTV Fox 11 and hearing Vin declare "It's Time for Dodger Baseball"! I was blessed to have heard him for 36 years. May he Rest In Power. I'll never get over his passing. He was special, and from what I hear, a very good man.
I'm from Italy. I was in California in the Summer of 2003 for the Honey Moon with my wife. I was driving with the car from Las Vegas to L.A. : as I'm a great baseball fan, I turned the radio on a MLB game.... Vin Scully was calling a game between the Dodgers and the Cardinals. I don't know why, but immediately it looked to me as a perfect soundtrack of what we were watching around us in that trip. I will never forget that moment.
My heart absolutely breaks for Vin. He was my best friend my whole life and I never met him. He was my connection to my dad after he passed away. Thank you Vin for all the memories that are so fond. Go hang with the legends now. 💙
Probably the funniest story regarding this great man took place during his early years with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Late afternoon during a home game at Ebbets Field, there was a lull in the action. The park was so small that you could practically hear every fan's conversation. At any rate, there was a famous fan named Hilda Chester who used to ring cowbells to distract opposing pitchers. At one point during this game, Hilda looked up at the broadcasting booth where Vin was seated. And in the loudest voice possible shouted: VIN SCULLY, I LOVE YOU. Needless to say, Scully was so embarrassed by the shout that he bowed his head. Hilda was able to see his reaction. Would you believe, she shouts LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU. Everyone around her just burst out laughing. So did Vin!
Fantastic story, Jose. It *LITERALLY* made me laugh-out-loud!!
I began following the Dodgers in 1977, age 10, living in the burbs of L.A.. I listened (and watched when on TV) to Vin call games virtually every game for years afterwards. It didn't take me long to realize this guy is a gem. His way of weaving stories into the game was like taking a master class in Dodger history. There was no "that was then this is now" mentality. His stories made the feats of Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax of the 60s, and those of PeeWee, Duke, Campy and Gil of the 50s, seem as real and tangible as if they happened last week. He allowed us younger fans to feel connected to those earlier eras, to where those were "my" Dodgers too. I moved away from SoCal 30 years ago, yet catching him on a broadcast as recently as his last year behind the mike would immediately transport me to the late 1970s, not only conjuring the memories but the emotions that went along with those memories. I am 55 now, and upon hearing of his death, feel officially old for the first time myself. He was a throughline for me to the late 1970s, and to the 1960s and 1950s through his stories, and no doubt the same for fans older than myself. One of the last connections I had to my kid-self has been severed. I have nothing to say but the most sincerest thanks to Vin for making Dodger baseball exciting for over 40 years of my life, and my sincerest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. I hope Vin knew he had perhaps the largest Marching and Chowder Society in his honor by us L.A. fans, whether in L.A. now or scattered across the globe.
At age 72 I can tell you that you nailed it for us "older" folks as well! Due to his humble nature, he would not have been comfortable talking about it but I guarantee you that he knew how large his Marching and Chowder Society was, and I believe he knew it was literally spread around the world.
I grew up listening to him. He is the best!
Heaven got a new play by play man. Now he’s calling games for all the legends.
We love you Vin! LA has lost its Most memorable Dodger! Rest easy. 🙏🏽
My favorite part about him is he knew when to let moments breathe. You can tell he had respect for the game.
Rest In Peace legend we’ll never forget you.🙏🏼
Rest in peace 🙏
@M nobody cares
This brought a tear to eye. Amazing work MLB. A perfect way to remember and honour the GOAT. May he rest easy.
This makes my bones hurt. He helped me through some of the hardest times in my life and I'll be forever grateful for him!
Vin always kept me up late on school nights, and we always brought a radio to games at Dodger Stadium to hear Scully's call.
Rest easy Vin! The greatest Dodger of them all. 🙏
The greatest voice in the history of sports broadcasting. Rest in peace.
Thank you Vin.
It was Perfect.
My heart breaks, but at the same time, we all know he'll be broadcasting games in heaven. Til we all meet him there, may he rest in peace.
The sign of a great broadcaster is to know when to say nothing and let the moment speak for itself. Vin Scully was the master of that.
Vin was my favorite since I was ten years old in Brooklyn. He was amazing and was the Dodgers voice. We loved that he was a lip reader and would tell what was being said during screaming matches between umpire vs manager. “Fertilizer!” Instead of “B_____it!”. When the Dodgers retreated to the left coast, the only times I saw Vin afterward was when he did World Series games and I enjoyed his work. Especially when my newer favorites, the Mets, played in 1986 series. He was a gem.
As I sit here today 55 years of age, a Tigers fan, a Gibson fan. I remember back to that incredible play by play by Vin as Gibson in such dramatic fashion propelled the Dodgers to the game 1 win of the 88 world series. I think back as a young man then and a much older man now, and I realize just how fortunate I was to have been born in the days of the Harwells, The Scullys and today I weep for a time now gone a voice gone quiet but memories that I will cherish forever.
Thank you Vin. You are the best!
I agree. I always felt that when Vin Scully passes that time period would officially be gone. It's here. I'm 58 and spent many nights listening to him call the games when I was a kid. He was magic.
Nothing but great memories about this man😢. R.I.P. Vin.
Born in San Diego but raised on dodger baseball, and this man's voice has been the voice of the dodgers for MY WHOLE LIFETIME. the loss to his family and all of los Angeles, not to mention the world at large.... I miss you, sir. I miss turning down the TV and turning you up. 💔💔
May you rest in peace and forever live in our hearts and broadcasts of legend. From a Seattle Mariners fan.
VIN SCULLY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES, GREATEST CALLS ETC. REST IN PEACE 🙏( ITS TIME FOR DODGERS BASEBALL) BORN IN THE BRONX;
Vin was the voice of baseball to me since the early 80s. A sad day indeed. You'll be missed, Vin.
There are a few really good people in the world. The world has lost one of them. He was a friend to everyone that heard him announce a game. He will be missed, and Never duplicated
Heros may be remembered…
Legends, deserve tributes…
Glad I got to enjoy his broadcasts as a kid
Gone but now forgotten. We love you Vin!
I grew up with Vinnie from 1958- No one was ever better, any sport, no one…..
There will never be another wordsmith or storyteller quite like a Mr. Vincent Edward Scully.
Of the three perfect games the great Vinnie broadcasted, two of the pitchers (Koufax and Dennis Martinez) wore the number 32…just found that interesting piece of trivia.
You will be missed Vinnie! A legend to live forever
Blue plastic AM radio plastered nightly to my ear listening to Vinnie broadcast my childhood. My great hope Vinnie is to say thank you in person in our Father's great kingdom.
Love you
There was something about Vin calling games. His voice was so soothing and he was so consistent with the quality of his broadcasts. Hey be been a dodger fan ever since 1996 when I saw my very first game at Dodger Stadium.
Vin Scully, Chick Hearn, and Bob Miller. These are the voices of Los Angeles. But Vin is the undisputed, the best of the best, the GOAT of all play by play guys.
And Jerry Doggert, for us oldies
I've been watching a lot old 1980s games announced by Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola. What strikes me is that Scully always had something relevant and interesting to say surrounding player's stats. Scully must have spent a lot of time preparing for his job. He was never a hack running his mouth as games dragged on. Scully was always focused and poised to make the next call.
Literal chills during this whole video
I have a lump in my throat from this!
Baseball will miss the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be. Rest in peace, Vin.
no matter if he's gone or not it will always be... time for dodger baseball. (i may be a braves fan but he was by far my favorite voice of the sport) rest in paradise
No American sport has history quite like baseball, and Scully will remain a legend within it for all time.
yesterday day was already something unbelievable
but this made sure nobody would ever forget
Rest in peace. The voice of Dodgers
Absolute legend! Rest easy
Why stop at baseball? Greatest play by play announcer in any sport. Period. Thank you for literally a lifetime of great calls & moments here in L.A Vin 😔
The Greatest. G.O.A.T. A part of a baseball’s fan life. His voice will always be what baseball sounds like.
"Good afternoon everybody this is vin Scully coming to you from the Los Angeles coliseum as opening day has finally come to southern California" April 18 1958
Miss you Vin, miss you so much.
He will be missed by all
That was well done.
Saturday game of the week with He and Joe Garigiola; I just wanted to hear them talk. Loved baseball, but when it was Vin, it just felt bigger. Ordinary games. Almost combined poetic broadcasting with the feeling I had listening to Paul Harvey.
In the 1970's if the Dodgers were on Game of The Week, I would turn down the volume on the TV and turn up the volume on the radio to hear Vinny. And that's saying a lot as the announcer for Game of the Week back then was Curt Gowdy, another legend of Sportscasting.
I love the part where they said people would bring radios to the games just to listen to Vin Scully's voice. That's probably the coolest thing ever
Three days ago was the 5th anniversary of my dads passing. He was also born in 1927. My dad will be in line to welcome the GOAT to his final destination in heaven.
my grandparents lived in long beach california and I would visit them in the summer during the 1960's and 70's from Indiana. I went to numerous dodger games and would listen to Vin Scully during the game with my transistor radio than my grandfather bought me. He was certainly the finest announcer that I ever heard.
A great human.
What a outstanding person he was.Hr will bei missed,may god bless him!
Beautiful
I have no words. I loved this man, and his every word on air. Dodger Baseball, the sounds, the feel, the soul, will never be the same.
Rest in peace..
We were happiest because of you.
Vinny made all my childhood summers the best possible. Win or lose, we always got to hear Vinny's soothing voice.
Rest in paradise Vin!
I remember his tribute to Harry Caray when he had left
sang the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley
Vin probably sang better than anybody who ever had before or since
That was epic and sad. He was a true legend and iconic figure behind the mic. Thanks for glorious memories and timeless calls. Rest in Paradise KING 👑!
Rest easy, Vin and thank you for everything you did for the game of baseball. Now you can call the most legendary of games on the true Field of Dreams.
Every game Vin called was a GEM, and we were Spoiledly Blessed to have him for all our years.
my favorite broadcaster everytime the dodgers play
win for vin 2022 dodgers gotta step this year we can do it
Vin Scully was the greatest ever.
Mr. Scully is the Babe Ruth of broadcasters.
I've discovered the beauty of baseball last week (I'm italian, we care only about football), but this video is made me emotional.
Best years of my life listening to Dodgers baseball in my grandparent's living room on the sofa sofa, in Torrance, CA. Soothing sound of his voice and the background sound of the crowd. Best memories, thanks Vin for all the best times!
Joe Torre described it perfectly: "dramatic, yet soothing".
I may be >50, but keep crying like a kid. Thank you Vin!
Ive been a baseball fan for most of my life. And at 28, I can say w/o question, The Dodgers have lost their voice, MLB has lost a legend and the sports world has lost an icon.
If Vin were still here and you asked all 30 MLB principal team announcers to vote on who is the best in their profession, the vote would be 29-1 for Vin. The only non-Vin vote would be cast by the humble Vin himself for one of his colleagues.
Rest easy sir. Mr. Scully, Mel Allen on T.W.I.B, and Bill King with my A’s, make the 80’s kid in me happy and thankful.
Rest easy vin🙏
It’s time for dodger baseball!!! Goat
I hate the dodgers but my grandpa is a fan and I remember watching dodger games with him when I was a kid man what a legend
Love baseball ⚾️ Hate The Dodgers. The players are obnoxious and the fans are ridiculous. But Vin Scully was absolutely the best sports announcer I ever had the pleasure of listening to. He didn’t need any body sitting by his side- He was eloquent and fascinating all by himself. I loved listening to him cover the game. He even touched the hearts of Giants fans.
This was wonderful! Thank you.
The most incredible voice in baseball loved the guy the best REST IN PEACE VIN SCULLY thank you so much for great memories,
#Win4Vin 💙
Vin Scully Was one of the best broadcasters When I heard his 1st voice was the World Series A's versus the dodgers I was just 7 years old watching it with my dad and and family it was one of the best baseball games in my life Thank you very much of our bottom of a heart for giving us a good voice in baseball for all baseball fans Your voice in your Passion for baseball We'll always be an everybody's heart My prayers go out to your family Thank you thank God-bless Uncle Vin Scully
They STILL screw up Vinnie's call of Gibson's homer. When he says the line "In a year that has been so improbable ..."
they always show the fist pump. Vin never said a word as Gibson rounded the bases. He didn't speak again until Kirk Gibson crossed home plate.
It was MUCH more dramatic in real time.
I called it the CURSE of the OVERDUB.
They didn't win another Series until they FINALLY stopped showing that clip.
Great Dodger. Be Blessed.
Enjoy our Creator !
Vin Scully and Jack Buck were the two best play by play guys in the history of the game.
After hearing about Ohtani going to the Dodgers who thought immediately how much fun would Vin Scully have if he was still around
This one hurts. Great job MLB for putting this together. Many of us grew up with this mans voice. Going to make sweet love to my GF tonight for Vinn, "Deuces Wild."
