The CRAZIEST BROADCAST of Vin Scully's CAREER | 49ers @ Rams (1980)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2022
- During week 5 of the 1980 NFL season, Vin Scully was calling the battle between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers for the NFL on CBS. However, he was also simultaneously calling a completely different event in a completely different sport, as only Vin Scully could successfully pull off. This is the story behind one of the craziest broadcasts that Scully ever had in his time in the booth

RIP to the greatest to ever do it. The Mr Rogers of baseball commentary
That's all I want to say
I agree with you on that and thanks for the kind words
The original “I’M CALLING BOTH GAMES!”
See my earlier comment about Brent Musburger doing this in 79 during the Nuggerts-76ers game, updating the Kings-Pacers game for that audience getting the former game.
So Vin did the “I’m calling both games!” thing, long before it became a meme.
Brent Musburger did that in 1979, updating the viewers watching Nuggets-Sixers on what was happening at the Kings-Pacers game. Since both games impacted the playoffs for all 4 teams, it was interesting.
John Madden, Dan Reeves, Tony Siragusa and now Vin Scully.😢
R.I.P. Vin
"Dwight Clark is 6'4" but he stands about 10 feet tall in this crowds estimation"... the Vin Scully call from football I will always remember
'tis is a leisure suit'. leo getz things done.
The Catch, many people don't remember or dont even realize he was part of legendary NFL football history.
@@JoseGomez-cj1tq I will never forget!!
RIP to the GOAT of sports announcers
I'm 67. When I was kid I like to to camp in a tent in my backyard some nights. I'd listen to Vin Scully broadcast Dodger games on a transistor radio, while in my sleeping bag.
Fun Fact: In 1974, the year before he joined CBS, Scully was part of NBC’s World Series coverage. NBC used local announcers for the two teams at that time.
Aha yes Dodgers vs A’s. I had forgotten that. Excellent point
Al Michaels was one of the announcers in 1972, for the Cincinnati Reds.
He must of gone back to.nbc...because he call the 86 series
In those days, MLB's deal with NBC required the Peacock Network to have a home team announcer call the game with the national crew. When ABC finally aired the World Series in 1977, the home team announcers were relegated to the pregame show and that practice ceased afterwards.
@@therealhuttertube Vin went to NBC to be lead play-by-play voice with Joe Garigiola on baseball in 1983 and also did golf on NBC. The 1974 appearance was when the local voices did the game with NBC's national voices, which continued through 1975 (Dick Stockton was then main PBP voice for the Red Sox for that memorable game 6 where he called Fisk's home run where he also met his future wife, Lesley Visser, then a 20-year old reporter for the Boston Globe). Starting with 1976, when the contract was split with NBC and ABC the home announcer rule was done away with.
Vin Scully was the best to ever do it. My dad was telling me the other day, “Gramps (my great grandpa) would watch the game with the tv muted and be holding a little radio up to his ear with Vin Scully on”
David Brinkley was hosting “NBC Magazine” on Friday nights opposite “Dallas” during the “Who Shot JR?” storyline. Brinkley told his viewers on the night CBS was going to reveal the answer that if they stuck around until the end of his show he would tell them.
Brinkley famously said in the show's promo, " This for the people who don't give. DAMN who shot J.R."
Let's not forget Dick Enberg as the voice of the Rams for 10 years. He was a great radio announcer for the team and when he left, I missed his calls a lot.
Dick Enberg was actually going to be NBC's #1 baseball announcer beginning in the 1983 season. Enberg had already shared play-by-play duties with Joe Garagiola on the 1982 World Series. And in 1981, he did that year's NLCS (the Dodgers vs. the Montreal Expos) with a still active at the time, Tom Seaver. But when Vin Scully became available after his departure from CBS, the higher ups at NBC Sports told him that he wasn't going to do baseball after-all. Enberg got a significant raise in salary as a pseudo apology for not coming through with the baseball job.
The original "I'm calling both games!"
Vin Scully ran so Kevin Harlan could walk
Kevin Harlan definitely was inspired when he said “I’m calling both games!” in 2020.
RIP Vin Scully
His voice indeed is synonymous with the classic era of baseball (70's Big Red Machine, Reggie Jackson A's then Yankees, Lasorda Dodgers, etc.). So many fond memories from my childhood.
It was Scully who called the famous Montana to Clark touchdown pass
It was also the last NFL game he ever called.
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. Vin Scully could do play by play of paint drying on the wall and make it interesting.
Rest In Peace. What a great announcer. I remember him doing football on CBS And then in 1983 going to NBC to do baseball. I remember the Dodgers winning those 3 games over Houston in Los Angeles. I think NBC covered the Saturday game. ABC covered the Sunday game and the Monday playoff
Vin Scully was the only annocers to say on TV.. lady and gentlemen the Brooklyn Dodgers are world champions
Yup. From 1976-1989 (still the best National TV deal in MLB history)ABC had Monday Night Baseball usually from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend before MNF started. Then a Sunday Afternoon game involving playoff contenders for the last 2-3 weeks of the regular season. And of course NBC had the legendary Saturday Afternoon "game of the week" from Mid-April to the last Saturday of the regular season. Then ABC and NBC rotated every season between the LCS playoffs and the World Series.
@@americangiant1003 I tend to think of 1976-89 as the real "golden age" or "golden era" of Major League Baseball on network television. That age specifically, began with Game 6 of the 1975 World Series and Carlton Fisk's iconic walk off home run at Fenway Park. NBC's "prime" years during this particular era was 1983-89, when they had Vin Scully, Joe Garagiola, Tom Seaver (in 1989 after Garagiola departed from NBC Sports), Bob Costas and Tony Kubek as their core announcers.
I think that ABC's "prime" years really began when they removed Howard Cosell from their baseball coverage and promoted Tim McCarver work the 1985 World Series with Al Michaels and Jim Palmer. Cosell had really become something of an albatross for ABC's baseball coverage. If he wasn't complaining about the sports' various problems, he would likely ruining the telecasts and test his colleagues' patience by getting drunk and rambling incessantly.
ABC needed to understand that they couldn't just broadcast baseball as if it was merely an extension of Wide World of Sports or a simple variation of Monday Night Football. It needed to be produced and broadcast by people who were truly passionate and loved the sport.
@@TMC1982Part2 I think you meant Jim Palmer was Al and Tim’s partner.
I became familiar with Scully through NBC's Game of the Week MLB package back in the '80s, but I didn't get to hear him a whole lot after NBC lost its package to CBS as the '90s dawned. What a legend he was. We'll never see another one like him.
That CBS MLB deal in the early 90's was absolutely awful, though not as bad as what followed with the "Baseball Network" from 1994-1995 with ABC/NBC which is easily the worst TV deal in the history of sports. RIP Vin
What a joke was Brent Musberger (the long time host of the NFL Today and also announcer for College Football and the NBA for many years) was picked by CBS to do the MLB package over Scully. Brent was fired at the start of the 1990 MLB season and with a 2nd chance CBS instead picked Jack Buck for 2 seasons. Buck, Sr was also a great HOF broadcaster but better suited for radio. Then later for the ‘92-‘93 seasons then Red Sox Announcer Sean McDonough who are has been very good as well as both College Football and NHL Hockey.
However neither of the 2 announcers was Scully doing baseball . Later on for a couple of seasons in the mid 1990's Scully did the World Series including the Joe Carter Walk Off HR in 1993 for CBS Radio.
@@chrisguardiano6143 Looking back on that CBS deal, the way its schedule worked out makes me wonder why the network even bothered to outbid NBC for the OTA package.
As for The Baseball Network, I never even wanna see or hear that name again. I live in Tampa and I remember a 1995 game between the Marlins and the Giants (pre-Rays, mind you) being placed in the 11 p.m. EDT/8 p.m. PDT window. When I saw that my ABC station wasn't airing that game (too late for my time zone, I guess), I was furious and I wished death on The Baseball Network after that. Being in a 2-franchise market in those days had to suck because only one of the teams could be on the air on a given night.
@@americangiant1003 How about Musburger being run on April Fool's Day? That was crazy.
@@marcus813 Brent was great still probably the best Studio Host in NFL History. Plus very good as announcer in say both the NBA and College Football as well. However no one was better at Baseball Commentator than Scully. That was my point on how CBS made a terrible decision as soon as they got the MLB and not hire Vin immediately.
I forgot on June 3 1989 the GREAT Vin Scully not only called the NBC Game of the Week in St Louis with the Cubs that went 10 innings. Then later that day he flew to Houston to call the Dodger game. That game went 22 innings. The Dodgers paid Scully a shipload of money on top of his network commitments
I was gonna say that but I forgot who the Cardinals were playing. I saw both game and what Vin did was remarkable.
Vin Scully almost became the voice for Monday Night Football but turn it down cause he would had to leave the Dodgers
LA had two of the all time best play by play announcers: Scully for the Dodgers and Chick Hearn for the Lakers. Hearn never got national traction and didn’t do much other than the Lakers but is one of the most creative announcers ever.
Bob Miller of the Kings also deserves a shout.
Dick Enberg too.
@@MrOneHotDog Dick never got a shot at being a lead MLB announcer on NBC because they had Vin in the '80's and Costas in the 90's. At least Enberg because of the 1982 NFL strike called 1 fall classic. He was the co-lead announcer/Pre Game Host of the 1982 World Series.
Well done. As a Dodger fan, it was great when I heard Vin Scully on the National broadcasts, (NBC Game of the Week, the All-Star Game, or the playoffs), even when the Dodgers weren't playing. For me that's baseball. It didn't matter that it was Cleveland playing the White Sox or the Reds playing the Cardinals, we always knew the announcing would make you feel you like you were there.
Scully did the same feat 36 years later, in 2016, in his last home game. He was calling both the Dodgers vs. Rockies AND Padres vs. Giants. I was watching the Dodgers vs. Rockies on ESPN (who joined the Dodgers' radio feed) and he was doing that. The Dodgers won on a walk-off HR by Charlie Culberson. (That was his FIRST HR of the season.) There will never be another one like him. He WAS the soundtrack of my youth, listening to him broadcast Dodgers games. RIP Vin Scully. #GOAT
Thank goodness Vin Scully didn't retire from baseball broadcasting in 1975!
Vin Scully calling games with coaching legends John Madden, Hank Stram and George Allen...thats a broadcasting triumvirate that cant be beat...
Fantastic video. I never knew about this story! Also, it scratched my itch for seeing a diversity of shots of George Allen standing next to Vin Scully and saying nothing. I think there were 163 of those!
I legit had no idea Vin Scully also called football games in his career. His name was so synonymous with baseball and the Dodgers that I thought it was the only sport he did.
Im in tears watching this great story about the legend Vin Scully. Thanks for sharing more memories of him, Jaguar.
Vin Scully IS Dodgers' baseball.
Thank you Mister Scully, R.I.P.
As someone who never heard Vin Scully work an NFL game, I wish I could have seen him with John Madden or Hank Stram. Those both sound like delightful booths to have calling a game.
Sonic (as of tonight 8/8/22)most or all of the original live "in real time' of the historic 1981-'82 NFC title game between the 49ers and Cowboys on CBS was still up on YT.
Look up:
Scully-Madden games from 1981:
Eagles-Giants
Giants-Redskins
Packers-Rams
Falcons-Browns
Scully-Stram from 1981:
49ers-Steelers
49ers-Rams
Packers-Jets
I for the longest time, also didn't know that Vin Scully called NFL games, having been born several months after his final NFL broadcast (the NFC Title Game between the 49ers and Cowboys, where Dwight Clark made "The Catch"). My first main exposure or initial familiarity with Vin Scully was through his national baseball work for NBC in the '80s.
The alleged true story behind why Vin called the 1981-82 NFC Title Game (instead of Pat Summerall, who would call that year's Super Bowl in Pontiac with John Madden) and his subsequent departure from CBS could be its own video. Vin has always publicly attested that he stopped calling NFL games after the 1981 season, because he figured that he would never get to call a better NFL game than the one that he witnessed at Candlestick Park on January 10, 1982.
What a great video paying tribute to this amazing legend. There will never be anyone better for baseball. And like you said, nary a bad word said - he was great on Twitter telling stories in his 90s and still quite sharp… RIP Vin.
R.i.p to a legend
RIP Vin Scully
Insert mandatory Kevin Harlan "I'M CALLING BOTH GAMES"
He called Golf ⛳ ⚾ and 🏈 Was paired with Jerry dodgett and Russ Porter Hank stram and John Madden Joe garagolia also With Tom Seaver it's time for Dodger ⚾ Final question was he calling for 67 years!!! And George Allen
Al Micheals was on the Ron Cey HR call and is another legendary broadcaster that has called NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB plus Olympics.
I love how insanely informative your videos are. You fukn seriously know your shit. I miss Vin Scully. I know he was like 94 years old, but I can't believe he's gone. Like you said, R.I.P; Vin. One of THE MOST legendary voices in ANY sport, also like you said. Like Johnny Most, Chick Hearn, Harry Caray, etc. Vin will be missed dearly. Keep up the great work JG9. I love your channel.
There’s a story where Ronald Reagan was radio broadcasting a baseball game that stalled. Rather than announcing this, Ronald Reagan pretended like the game was still going on. That was kind of crazy, also.
And yet, a year after this, Scully would be passed over on CBS for the #1 NFL slot with John Madden by Pat Summerall. This would lead to "The Catch" (1981 NFC Championship Game between the Cowboys and 49ers at Candlestick played January 10, 1982) being what no one knew at the time would be the last NFL game ever called by Scully, who would leave CBS for NBC following his golf commitments during 1982. He would never call an NFL game for NBC.
Vin Scully was not only a great commentator, he had longtime (and inaugural!) Chiefs head coach Hank Stram as his play by play. If I could have those two calling every game not Kevin Harlan/Rich Gannon I'd be a very happy man.
I would use my old AM radio at night years before the internet and listen to him make baseball games interesting. He knew exactly what to say between pitches to keep you listening batter after batter. I was on the east coast so those game where very early in the morning, so I would sleep to 10 am after listening to the games.
Vin Scully: Calling multiple games before Kevin Harlan made it cool, and the FCC might not have even permitted it back then.
vin scully is the utmost CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!! the bottom line is IF YOU LOVE THE TYPE OF JOB OR WORK THAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING that type of individual can live well into their 90's !!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s nuts
to say this is a GREAT video would be an under statement
RIP Vin ❤
There will never be another sports announcer like Vin Scully. May he R.I.P.
Great way to tribute him.
his voice will be the voice of baseball... God bless this man I dont remember him calling football but I know it was just as incredible as listening to him call a baseball game
John as I mentioned before to Sonic, you can watch several of the games he called. Mainly the classic 1981 NFC Title game which is uploaded on YT. Plus if any of you are under 45 years old, you will not remember Vin doing the NFL on live broadcasts.
Are we not going to talk about the incredible armor the 9ers QB wears at 3:19
Probably state of the art technology at the time...lol.
Steve Deberg had laryngitis and was wired with a microphone and speaker strapped on his back so he could call the signals and be heard
Also 6 years later a similar situation happened in the NYC/NJ area. While the NY Mets was winning game 7 of the 1986 World Series on NBC, meanwhile on ABC, Frank Gifford and Al Micheals was calling the NY NFL Giants vs Washington game on MNF. Same thing especially when the last out by the Mets clinched them the championship. And the crowd at Giants Stadium went wild for the rest of the game as Big Blue won in a blowout. And the NBC Announcer for that 1986 World Series. Vin Scully. Jag maybe do a video on that historic night in NYC Metro area sports history as well.
Everyone from So Cal cringed at 9:58 when he said "Anaheim Stadium in Los Angeles."
I was at the Dodger game that Sunday and we won a TV during fan appreciation day.
You should make another channel for baseball!

@@OfficialJaguarGator9 Really? I can't wait to see that.
There would be another NFL game like this in 1986-the Monday Night football game at the Meadowlands between NY and Washington that was played the same night as Game 7 of the World Series just 18 miles away in Queens at Shea Stadium. JG9 made another video about 2 months after this one to talk about that convergence and the Giants Stadium crowd cheering at odd times...and yes, Vin Scully was calling Game 7 for NBC.
Didn't know Vin Scully announced for CBS Sports but do remember his afternoon talk show 50 years ago.
I remember his afternoon talk show on CBS.
He called two baseball games at once as well. I cannot remember the year, but the Dodgers were in another playoff race and the broadcast booth was showing the other baseball game and Vin would get excited and call random plays that were NOT happening on the Dodgers game.
And that is why Vin Scully is the GOAT...
The original “IM CALLING BOTH GAMES!!”
Vin Scully will always be the greatest broadcaster ever. I would have loved to had seen Scully call the NFL when he went to NBC in 1983.
Absolutely there NEVER will be another Vin Scully. There might be people that share the same name as him but they will never be as iconic as Vin Scully is, was and EVER will be
No one did it better, no one will ever be able. Rest In Peace, ya ol’ redhead.
The world is better for having had you and worse for losing you..
There has to be footage of this.
0:19 AMEN RIP Vin Scully dispite being a Red Sox fan
10:46 - Well, except for maybe the last weekend of the season when there are teams that still haven't clinched a playoff spot.
The Dodgers should still be in Brooklyn and no one can change my mind on this.
Yeah well blame Robert Moses
e'ffn robert moses.
@@matthewdaley746 interesting. i've heard of it. never saw it. can't stand that hot head baldwin. had no idea moses was featured in it. maybe i'll check it out anyway.
@@matthewdaley746 ok. norton. saw him do a good job in primal fear and am. history X.
@@MrBlazemaster525 FYI. For those who don't know who Robert Moses was here is a very brief info aka "411." On Paper only, he was the NYS Parks and Public Works Commissioner who had 100% on what highways/bulidings and bridges went up in NYC and NYS. In other words for the Big Apple, Moses was basically another Hebert Hoover with unlimited power that for 30-40 year no one not even NY Governors could challenge him. At his peak, Moses was powerful than any NYC Mayor or NYS Governor at the time.
With the Dodgers when Owner Walter O' Malley wanted an Astrodome type stadium in Downtown Brooklyn at the current site of the NBA Brooklyn Nets arena, Moses said hell no. Instead O' Malley was offered the now Citfield Mets Stadium site in Suburban Queens, NY. O'Malley was so ticked off at Moses, he accepted the LA offer. And also took then NY Giants Owner with him for the Giants to move to SF and Northern California. Most of the blame should go to Robert Moses. Also some blame to O'Malley, the NYC Mayor at the time and MLB's National League Owners at the time.
Similar to what the NFL did when the Original Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore to become the Ravens and Cleveland got a new reborn expansion Browns team by 1999, MLB should have done the same thing.
1)Give O' Malley the new LA Expansion club and the then MLB NY Giants (Stoneham I think his name)a team in SF.
2)Then by say 1961-'62 give the NYC area, new Owners for reborn Dodgers and Giants expansion teams. With the Dodgers playing in a new domed stadium Downtown Brooklyn at the now Barclays Center/NBA Nets arena. 3)And the NY Giants on what became Shea Stadium and now the Mets ballpark at Citified in Queens.
Vin Scully is the 🐐 on the 🎙 ⚾️ 🏈
🪦 Mr Vin Scully
I will miss Vin Scully and his stories. every time he tells a story in a baseball game you can just imagine yourself that your there and you feel special about it.
Even when he talks about an opposing team player. You can be good or just an ok player and hell you can be a terrible player and he will tell a story about you like your a damn legend. It's so amazing.
Most announcers in a baseball game when it's two outs... they don't tell a long story. Well for Vince.. and only Vince there will be 15 balls fouls off and he's already done with the story.
Vin Scully can read the entire Dr. Seuss series including Green Eggs and Ham and he will make it sound amazing.
Everyone says whoever the star player is is the face of the franchise on the team. It's true it really is..
But Vin Scully is the entire face of the Dodgers.
I agree with you. Vin Scully could do play by play of paint drying on the wall and make it interesting.
@@michaelmarino7391
Man there were times i hoped Vin Scully was a teacher. he would rock!!!
Finally a good video with no dumb comments.
R.I.P the most iconic man in baseball
How is there no footage of this?!?
I'll miss his phrase
"It's time for Dodger baseball" ⚾⚾⚾
I know when he entered those pearly gates, he was greeted by all the legends of broadcasting that went before him.
He isn't the only man to ever call two games at one. But two from a different sport?
The best way to anger dodgers fans, saying anaheim is in Los Angeles 😂
This is why he’s the GOAT
Of course it was Al Michaels with the PBP of the Cey homerun. Michaels being the most comparable announcer to Vin.
Only Vin Scully could do this!
People paid for a Ram’s game but wanted to listen to the Dodgers
2 years later, baseball had almost the same deal as the dodgers/astros deal happen, but in that case, it was orioles/brewers, brewers up 3 with 4 to go, playing against baltimore in baltimore.
o's took first 3, making game 162 a winner takes all game (don sutton is connected to both games, as in the dodgers game, he got the save to force game 163, two years later, he went 8 innings and won the game for the brewers).
'montana to clark in the end zone. touchdown'. vin call on the famous walsh to montana throw it high or out of bounds play.
Sprint right option. When you need a good play, leo gets it called for you
@@leogetz3570 haha you got it.
I think Joe Buck did the same thing in San Francisco
Not at the same time.
He did Giants-Niners at the Stick and then came down for the baseball game at the former PacBell.
ANAHEIM STADIUM IS IN ANAHEIM NOT L.A,
Lamont you are correct. Anaheim Stadium now called "Angels Stadium" after the MLB Angels is in Anaheim. However it's still in the LA/Southern Calif. Metro area. Similar to how many NFL stadiums are in the suburbs and *not* in the cities that host them. Thinking in 2022/2023, the LA Rams/Chargers, SF 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, the now Washington "Commanders", the NY Giants/NY Jets, Buffalo Bills and the New England Pats.
I think the only broadcaster that can even come close to Vin is Bob Uecker. 50+ years in Milwaukee, Johnny Carson, WW(F)E, Mr. Belvedere, the list goes on. He and Vin have to be 1-2 in my book.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Vin due The Game of the Week for NBC and then fly to Houston and broadcasted half or most of the 22 inning Dodgers Astros game as well in 1989?
Rip to the legendary Vin Scully
1:18 what a pair.

Just some of the games of Madden’s first year
I honestly didn't know that he called NFL games.
He called two baseball games at once in 1983. It was the day the dodgers clinched the west.
I’m sure he’ll be better remembered for the final minutes of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.
As a New York Mets fan, I have to disagree with you. Kirk Gibson's HR Game 1 in 1988, Hank Aaron's 715th HR, 18 no hitters (Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax, Fernando Valenzuela).
I saw Joe Buck call a football game then 2 hours later call the World Series but I’ve never seen them being called at the same time. Scully used to have Don Driesdale in the booth till he died then Vin did everything himself.
And when Keith Jackson did the football/baseball doubleheader the following Saturday it was Drysdale that took the first four innings
Didn't he host a game show ON NBC in the late 60s or early 70s?
Nicole I know he was both the Television Co-Host and also several times the Grand Marshall of the New Years Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena for many years on local LA Television as well. Maybe that is what you are talking about? Someone else can confirm as I was not yet born until the early '70's.
Was it called “It takes two”?

Just seems wrong that he did both Dodger games (the tying game and then the playoff) and then did the ALCS. Of course, that would have made Keith Jackson unavailable for college football that Saturday (then again so would the Dodgers winning) even though the Royals swept NYY
Broadcast pair of Vin Scully and George Allen still makes me cringe after all these years.
Yes, I am old enough to remember Scully doing football, barely. I hate the Dodgers but I don't think anybody doesn't like Scully. That's borderline un-American. (Of course Giants fans are excused from this. I can totally understand not having a ton of love for Vin. He is a Dodger after all.) R.I.P.

Great channel but I cringe each time I hear "the MLB." There is no such thing. Please just say "the Major Leagues." MLB comprises of two separate leagues. It is not one league therefore making "the" extremely incorrect. It drives baseball people crazy. Just constructive criticism. Great channel.
@@matthewdaley746 that's correct.
@@matthewdaley746 even most baseball people add an s to RBI. Nobody brought it to my attention until collegiate ball.
@@matthewdaley746 I want to vomit when I hear someone call runs "points."
They haven't been 2 separate leagues since 2000. The NL and AL exist in the same way the NFC and AFC exist, on paper.
@@ToyfareMark It doesn't make sense. It's incorrect English but go ahead
Scully couldn't carry Jack Buck's jock. Or Joe Buck's.
Stay off the damn weed
Vinny would call baseball games by himself, first three and last three on radio and the TV. No broadcaster has the talent to that today.
BTW 1980 NYM played Houston in the playoffs and the stupid Saturday game would not end... This caused the Astrodome ground crew to change the field for a College Football game. To my knowledge the first to go past midnight in the history of college ball.
I remember that game. I was running errands and came home as the bottom of the 14th began. Billy Hatcher hit a HR off the foul pole to tie the game. The crowd went NUTS. Houston very nearly came back in the bottom of the 16th inning; they had the winning run at the plate but he struck out to end it.
@@jonrobles1468 I was a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggies Band and we were standing outside, waiting... good times.
Jonniez you probably mean the 1986 NLCS playoffs between the NYM and Astros.
@@americangiant1003 sorry that was Philly in 80.
