    Man, losing two legends of their craft the last two days. Scully has always been my favorite announcer of all time. There was something so inviting with his voice, and he was so descriptive. Don't have to be a Dodgers fan to respect a great announcer like Vin. RIP to the Voice of baseball Vin Scully

      I grew up with a father who bled Dodger Blue, our neighor was such a Cardinal fan his house was white with red shingles and trim (True story) and I as a young Cub/Yankee fan got to sit and learn the game as they drank beer and listened to men like, Scully, Brickhouse, Buck, Carey, Allen, Hamilton etc. call the games on the radio in the garage. I was so blessed to grow up and play and respect this game. RIP, Vin. And thanks!

I sat next to him, gave him a hug, and I told him "Look on the bright side dad, Tia is now hanging out with Tommy Lasorda and Vin Scully." R.I.P to a TRUE ICON! R.I.P Vin Scully!

    As a child in the 80’s, I always wondered why the adults would bring their handheld radios and soft-foam headphones to Dodgers games, when they could watch and listen in person. It wasn’t until some years later that I did the same, to listen to Vin while watching the games. Even watching from home, I’d mute the TV and listen to him announce, albeit way ahead of the broadcast signal. What a personality we got to enjoy for so many years. Win for Vin!

      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 seems, 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, I’ve always needed you more than you’ve ever needed me, and I’ll miss our time together more than 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, ooh, rest assured, once again, it will be time for Dodger baseball. So, this is Vin Scully wishing you a pleasant good afternoon, wherever you may be.”

    If there’s a Mount Rushmore for sports broadcasting, Vin Scully’s the first one chiseled into that granite up there. Granite is reportedly symbolized with abundance and protection. It only seems fitting to have Vin Scully associated with it. Because he had an abundance of everything: talent, stories, knowledge, faith, family, fans, friends, and last but not least, love of sports. He protected and preserved the integrity of the game.
    Vin Scully is the template for how to call a game. He could call play-by-play AND tell stories at the same time. Many broadcasters tell stories today, but they tend to be former players reminiscing on their playing days and, rarely, is it relevant to the game at hand. Vin’s stories were always fresh and interesting, never boring, and you couldn’t wait to hear him tell them.
    He was a Dodgers broadcaster for 67 years, but he never injected any bias into his games. He was always fair and on his worst day he was better than everyone else on their best day.
    Many of us remember Vin when he joined NBC in 1983 and started calling games with Joe Garagiola on the Saturday “Game of the Week”. Vin Scully was the friend we all had who came into our living room once a week and we couldn’t wait to see him. I can only speak for myself, but he didn’t just make my childhood and my adolescence better, he made my life better. He made all of our lives better being here.
    Vin Scully once said, “Good is not good when better is expected”. He was beyond good as a man and a broadcaster. It is only fitting that today is the Major League Baseball trading deadline. We lost a giant or should I say, a Dodger? Heaven acquired him for a player to be named later. No doubt Vin is entertaining God and the patrons of heaven at this moment with his stories as he did when he was here.
    In closing, I want to quote Vin Scully one last time: “I love baseball and I don’t want to be part of anything that would cheapen or vulgarize it”. If @mlb truly wants to honor Vin Scully, they should heed his words. As Vin would say, I wish you all a very pleasant good afternoon. Rest In peace, Vin. 🙏

    For those of us who grew up in the Dodgers fandom, Mr. Scully was a consistent, calming presence year over year. While the faces on the field may have changed, he could always be counted on to provide first-rate commentary in the booth. When you listened, you knew that you were hearing greatness. It was like watching a superior athlete; you just knew that they would go down as one of the all-time best. You tried not to take it for granted, and as the years passed, you began to see that this man wouldn't be able to work this job forever, so you cherished the moments listening to him that much more.
    I always knew this day would come. Mr. Scully's presence on this Earth was somewhat of a connective tissue between myself, my father, and my grandfather, two men long passed who experienced many a Dodgers game w/ me during my childhood. Now that Mr. Scully is gone, too, it feels like that connection is gone w/ it. Yet, 94 years is a long time, and in his case, a life well-lived. I'm glad that he retired when he did, b/c it gave him a chance to spend time w/ his wife, Sandi, before she passed last year, and he was also able to dedicate himself to being a full-time grandparent to his many grandchildren. And, I'm certain that is something they'll remember far more than all the accolades he'd received for his tremendous broadcasting career.
    You graced us w/ poetic elegance behind the microphone, and you shared your passion for the game, and those who played it, w/ us. And for that, all we can say is, "Thank you for the memories." So, Mr. Scully, I wish a very pleasant good evening to you wherever you may be.

    For as long as I've been alive, Vin Scully was a part of it. I can't even remember the first time I heard his golden voice because he had been broadcasting nine years before I was born. But it was not long. I grew up in LA and he was an icon long before the rest of the country got to know him. I can visualize being 11 years old with a dual speaker radio and sitting on the lawn listening to the Mets versus the Dodgers and Scully talked about a young kid who could fire a ball faster than anyone but he had issues with control and if he were ever to gain control he would be some kind of pitcher. Well, guess what. That was 1970 and that pitcher was Nolan Ryan. Man, did Scully call that one. So many great moments. Whenever we went to Dodger stadium my mother could not understand why anyone would bring a transistor radio to a game you're actually watching live. She just didn't understand who the announcer was.

He wasn't just the dodgers announcer but he was the announcer of the whole baseball game. You learn so much even from the players on the other team. He knew the strangest tidbits about the opposing players that even that team's announcers had no idea. And I just loved him for it. RIP VIN... He brought the radio broadcast into our homes in 3-D and in color...

Got caught behind the buildings listening to the ball game with friends. They took my radio away. Give it back later. Meantime, they rolled a television into the auditorium so we could watch game 7.

    I am a Giants fan from birth. Krukow and Kuiper are very good, but in all honesty, Vin Scully was the best of the best. Not just baseball, but everything he did, period!!! A truly great and Godly man. We were all blessed to have experienced this wonderful man!!!

    My grandfather was a Brooklyn Dodger fan (Koufax was the best ever and he'd argue that forever). My dad wasn't into sports. My grandpa molded me into a Dodger fan (said I should pitch like Drysdale since I am a righty). In west Texas, we relied on cable tv to watch KTTV. Grandpa passed in '84, but Dodger blue runs thick. Vin Scully was not only the voice of the Dodgers, of baseball, or of generations...Mr. Scully was, and always will be, the voice of billions of memories. Memories that transcend baseball and into family and into life, itself. Whether one is a sports fan or not, Vin Scully is a national treasure for being a cross-generational and cross-cultural icon. Some may dismiss sports as irrelevant or frivolous (like my ex-wife 😂), but they connected me to my family...and Vin Scully narrated a lot of mine. I will always miss you, Mr. Scully...voice of lifetimes. Thank you, forever.

    As a child in the 1960's in suburban Los Angeles on Summer nights we ALWAYS had the radio tuned to Vinny's broadcast. We would imitate him at times as we played baseball, basketball, hide & seek or whatever! " Palm ball in there! ". " Koufax steps off the mound..." and so on. He was the best for sure! Vinny's voice will forever take me back to those hot Summer nights of my childhood & well beyond. Thank you Vinny for being such a great ambassador for baseball, such a great storyteller & such a genuinely nice guy...

    Thank you Vin Scully. I grew up watching you on the radio on my grandpa’s front porch almost 60 years ago. I’ll cherish those memories until I’m gone.

    My father was born in the Bronx as well six days before Vinnie. My father died almost a year ago. I hope he’s now listening to Vinnie again.

    The Kirk Gibson call, the Buckner call, I can never forget each word. The memories that I lived, with the people I love, is what makes me cry and I'll never forget any of it, or any of them, even after I die.

    Picasso created pictures with paint. Vin created pictures with his words. Growing up, and living, in Ca, Vin was baseball to me. He was as much a part of the game as any player on the field. He was more than just our eyes and ears. He was our friend. RIP to the greatest Dodger of all time.🌼💙

    I'm a Cincinnati and New York fan but I love hearing his voice and I always hear him say "It's time for Dodger baseball " and great calls the no hitters/perfect games game 6 of 86 world series and Kirk Gibson's walk off home run during game 1 of the 88 world series Thanks Vin for hearing your voice for many years RIP Vin

    Vin, no works can express what an impact you had on me. Like a surrogate grandfather, you were always there. I grew up in a time when a baseball game was only televised a few times a week, and the great news was having you on the radio to keep me informed with not only the plays, but the stories of each player, which helped me see the opposing team as real people and not the other team to beat. May you rest in peace. You were one of a kind and will never be replaced.

    I've never wrote this to anybody other than a letter I had written to vin while he was still announcing. But here it goes. Vin was of course the voice of baseball for me groing up in socal. But he brought something else. He was a role model, mind you without meeting him, for a young person going up. The kindness, the respect, and the hardworking ethics he lived, more than spoke about. He taught me about vocabulary, God, honor, hardwork, modesty, and loyalty. Whether he did this without knowledge of his actions or not almost makes it more amazing. He was truly a man amongst boys. He was someone to model yourself after. I just wish I had a chance to thank him, I wish my son would be able to hear him, and I wish we had more people like him.
