I'm a Giants fan and have lived my whole life in the SF Bay Area . Even though LA and SF are both in California the cities are separated by over 400 miles. When I was a young boy around 8 or 9 listening to my Giants on my transistor radio during night games especially in the summer I would often come across a faint call of the Dodger games being broadcast from LA. I can still hear Vin Scully's voice in my head calling the game. I didn't listen long though because I thought it would be bad luck against my Giants to listen to the enemy Dodgers! RIP Vin Scully you without any doubt whatsoever were the best that ever was.

There are certain people in sports who are not bigger than the game so to speak but they are so iconic that they are bigger than the others. Bob Uecker is another great announcer who has taken a small part of the game and made it HIS! Both Vin Scully and Bob Uecker were, no ARE ICONS in baseball. Bob Uecker spent his life bashing himself, Vin Scully was just Vin Scully. Both are characters and both are so beloved they transcend the games and their jobs. They are true icons! 👍 RIP Mr. Scully🕊🙏🕊🕊🙏🕊🙏 You may have left this 🌎 World 🌎 but you will NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN! God Bless you, your family, and all of us, we could really use it right now.

Vin Scully, Ernie Banks, Sandy Koufax, Don Zimmer, Ebbets Field....8:00pm scheduled White Sox games in 1957 Chicago & Billy Pierce was pitching in old Comiskey THAT night?! I didn't know Brooklyn played games in Jersey? What a time capsule masterpiece. One of the best treasures I've ever heard.

Anthony: I was born in Milwaukee 51. First ball game i ever saw was when i was 4, Dad took me old County Stadium and saw my all time hero Hank Aaron hiit a home run! After moving to LA in 57, I recall my very first ball gsme I heard at age 8 in 1959 on my old AM radio: The Dodgers beat the Braves on the last day of the season in the old LA Coliseum in the 12th inning, and heard Vin Scully's famous call after the 3rd Braves out, "Its on to Chicago! where we beat the White Sox in the World Series in 59.. Wonderful, memories! I was dissappointed the Dodgers beat my Milwaukee Braves, and stayed a Milwaukee Braves fan for several yeas til they moved to Atlanta. But slowly and surely got wooed into becoming a Dodgers fan for life, thanks to Vin Scully, Koufax, Drysdale, Wills., Gilliam, Roseboro, Davis et al.
