Vin wasn't just the voice of Dodger baseball, he was the voice of American sports. He belonged to the Dodgers the most, no doubt, but we've all lost the most iconic voice in the history of American sports. From Jackie Robinson to Jack Nicklaus to Joe Montana and beyond, no one personally witnessed more sports history than Vin. Losing him is like losing The Library of Alexandria.
So many comments saying the same thing. And mine: my dad driving us to the beach, sunday afternoon, south Palm Blvd. (now Harbor Blvd.), Costa Mesa, Ca., in our '57 Dodge station wagon. Dodger game on the radio. Dodgers-Braves. Hank Aaron facing Don Drysdale. Vin Scully calling it. A sibling asks a question. Dad: "shhhh...I wanna hear this."
I just want to thank KDWN in Las Vegas for broadcasting Dodger games in the 80s/90s. Spent many summers listening to Vin while honing my craft as an artist. I hated that he took 2 innings off. Lol When he retired, an era ended but it was nice knowing Vin was relaxing at home. Well earned retirement but you knew when something big came up Vin would make the trip to Dodger Stadium as a guest. He was always there for us.
Class act. Brian's a favorite son of Albuquerque. I feel his pain cause, I too, miss his voice calling Dodger baseball. He made an impact on my life listening to his stories as he called the game. Dodger 🔵 is a little more blue today. RIP Vin...and thank you for your friendship.
Gets you in the feels
Escapism at it's finest was listening to Vin on AM radio. LA traffic did not matter, hearing his stories is what helped time did not matter.
I feel you Bryan. Right there with you.

Well said my friend. Well said.
Great note from Cranston.

Right there with ya Bryan and Dan, it hurts a lot.
Very classy statement from Mr. Cranston. I feel his pain. I grew up with Vin on the radio as my Dad drove. There will never be another like him
