Vin Scully Retiring

[Rick]

If there every was a voice of baseball, his was that voice.

He's retiring after 67 years in the booth.

The other night he did the 4th inning when Puig made a great catch at the wall. He shouted Viva Cuba! Viva Puig!. I am a closet Dodger fan. Sandy Koufax was amazing....

Ever hear "Hammy" announce the Indians' games now? This guy goes crazy when they hit a homer or score the winning run.

Whoa! who were Harry Caray and Bob Shepperd, then?....but you're right, he was certainly one of the great announcers of the Game.......mac

A wayyyyy back....

He's got a great home run call for sure.

Scully called 11 World Series' on national TV. I don't know of Harry Carry ever called any.

Never heard of Shepperd.

That's because Harry Caray was the Cubs' announcer. They don't seem to make it to the World Series except once every 110 years. This year will be no exception. :)

Scully did a lot more than the Dodgers. I heard a "best of" from him and he called over of the '49ers games with Montana.

I grew up listening to him call the Dodgers game... When he passes, they need a Dodgers blue coffin. A truly great voice of sports.

man oh man, you sure know how to hurt a guy......when i was growin' up the Dodgers were a Brooklyn Team......went overseas for a while and came back and.....Dodgers weren't in Brooklyn any more and the Braves weren't in Milwaukee any more.....enough to give a guy whiplash!......mac

Good Lord - when the hell did you enlist - 1930???? :)

[sojourner truth]

Well, any of us that grew up in the 50s remember the moves to the west coast...

It broke an awful lot of hearts in Brooklyn.

[CenTexDave]

Those were classics - Yankees vs Dodgers, Yankees vs Giants, Dodgers vs Giants. Once in a while a team from some other
city/state might sneak in.

I was looking at what happened on this day in history, and on this day in 1967, it was the first world series game since 1948 not to feature the Yankees, Dodgers, or Giants. Also on this day in 1972, Ted Williams managed his last game in baseball....he was the Rangers manager.
