1957 07 28 Dodgers vs Reds Classic Baseball Radio Broadcast (Vin Scully)

[@lovetruth1776]

RIP Vin Scully. Thank you for your amazing contribution to America's game.

[@eyesonyou99]

This Dodger team had 6 HOF players: Koufax, Drysdale, Reese, snider, Campanella, Hodges. I think the manager Walt Alston also was admitted -‘so 7 Dodger Hall of famers.

[@wmontanez27]

It was an enjoyable game as usual. Thanks for for making the past reappear in the present. Great names.

[@billsmith5985]

Vin Sculley from Crosley Field. Priceless.

[@daniellack3559]

You have that right Bill....Cincy was known as the redlegs instead of the Reds for about 10 yrs in the early 50s-early 60s, because of the Communist "Red" scare led by Senator Joe McCarthy

[@jysportscardguy8935]

@@daniellack3559 if they keep taking a knee for the Anthem they may need to do that again.

[@skylarkportraitstudio]

I think the Reds ought to change their name to the Duds after today’s loss to an opponent who fails to get even one hit and yet still wins the game.

Amazing how Vin kept mum on the topic of the Dodgers impending move to Los Angeles for the '58 season. Walter O'Malley must have told him to keep quiet about it.

[@jysportscardguy8935]

Loved the appearance of Big Klu!

[@steveprestegard5151]

4:31 That's some reverb on the organ during the National Anthem.

[@kevinmadden1645]

The Dodgers led the National League in team ERA in 1957 and Podres was rhe individual leader(2 .66) and 12-9 won/ loss record .

[@thomaswolf723]

Notice that the Cincinnati team was referred to as Redlegs rather than Reds. This was in the middle of the cold war where the color red meant Communist.

[@rogerlambert9316]

Vin Scully was a class act.

The good old days when God was in heaven, Eisenhower was in the White House and Willie Mays was in centerfield.

RIP Vin

Both teams are in third place only two games behind the Braves who were 56-40 with the Cardinals in second at 54-40, the Dodgers actually in their by percentage points at 53-41 with the Reds at 54-42. But the braves would be pulling away, going 39-19 from this point on and finishing 8 games ahead of the Cardinals, 11 up on the Dodgers and 15 over the Reds.

Smoking commercials! Love it

[@TheZoloto56]

Different era for sure.

[@douglaslowe5]

They banned Cig ads in 1970. Oddly, cigarettes marketed towards women (Virginia Slim's) had an exemption.

[@joeambrose3260]

Redlegs, love it

[@michaelpatrick4845]

I love how the Dodgers could have used their pitcher as a pinch hitter.

[@orbyfan]

Don Newcombe could hit; he made more than 100 appearances as either pinch hitter or pinch runner. His lifetime major league batting average was .271, with 15 home runs.

[@douglaslowe5]

In 1968 Dodgers offense was so weak Drysdale was often used as a pinch hitter. He had 8 hrs that year.

[@kevinmadden1645]

This was a Sunday afternoon game. The next day Jack Paar became rhe Tonight Show host, kasting five years

[@daniellack3559]

Great Cincy line-up..Frank Robby in his second season...

[@skylarkportraitstudio]

On their way out the door, the Bums just before they became someone else’s team. Sad year for many a fan in a town that would never again have a mlb baseball team.

[@garyhook6383]

It was pretty rare that Walter Alston got kicked out of a game.

[@michaelpatrick4845]

Anyone know where I can get a Lucky Strike? Some reason, I'm in the mood.

[@danielschell6523]

And Schaefer beer

[@marcusnicoletti3651]

I bought some back in August, they still taste and smell like tar on a roof in the Bronx. They're the kinda cigarette you want to smoke that'll never make you want to smoke again

Question: does Al Helfer appear anywhere on this broadcast? I skimmed through it and never heard him.

[@douglaslowe5]

No. He must have been strictly on the TV side that day?

[@fatfreddyscat5767]

Red Legs, lol! Thanks Mccarthy

[@daniellack3559]

Dodgers were starting to show their age...Snider, Hodges, Campy...careers beginning to wind down.....

[@deepcosmiclove]

They won again 2 years later in 1959.

[@qwj68boots]

Honestly, announcer is Not Vin Scully.

[@sportsmedia25]

Jerry Doggett did the first four innings and then Vin followed at 1:02:22 , his voice is pitched a little slow. Play it in 1.25 speed
