Brooklyn Dodgers vs Chicago Cubs, Ebbets Field 6/4/1957-full radio broadcast-Vin Scully/JerryDoggett

[@djgill8043]

RIP to the legendary Vin Scully. What a life. What a gentleman

[@bbruzzes]

The fact he's been the voice of the Dodgers for two thirds of a century is just mind boggling. Vin, you are a legend!

Who doesn't love Vin Scully? Even Giant fans love him (they should as he was originally a Giant fan when he was a kid).

[@auntissie]

Even Red Sox fans... 😊

[@roddunham8887]

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.

[@EdsterIII]

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.

[@adriancano5403]

And, BTW, the Giants have a legend as well in Jon Miller..and BTW 2.0, I haven't seen Sunday Night Baseball since he and Joe Morgan quit calling the games.

Love to hear Jerry Doggett's voice again. He would do 2 innings (3 &7) and Vin would do the rest when they moved to L.A. when I was young and listen to them both before going to bed. Great memories...

[@samuelworthan5426]

Wayne D You’re So right, Great memories. I was sad in 1985 when Jerry Doggett signed off for the last time and I was even sadder 31 years later when Vin Scully signed off for his final time. I was with Vinney for 58 of his 67 years. 🧔🏼 it’s wonderful to be able to hear them again here on KZbin. ⚾️📻🎙

On a difficult day I found this gem before bedtime. I played this on my Cubs shell-covered iPhone, transistor radio-style, falling asleep like I used to do. I really felt 8. 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.

[@donriley3349]

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.

[@jimcarnicom9417]

.. an old AM Transistor radio is the heart of any story about 50's and 60's baseball. It was for me in Philadelphia; camping on Great Lakes, listening to Detroit-Cleveland game the night Ty Cobb passed away; and in San Diego, listening to Vin Scully keep us informed about the Dodgers! Thanks for the memories..

[@alonenjersey]

Yep. Good old Walter O'Malley was giving the Brooklyn faithful a taste of the future thanks to jack holes like Robert Moses.

[@alonenjersey]

@chris richard Honestly Moses was no fan of baseball. And let's not forget Mayor Wagner who didn't give a damn either

[@ricoroho]

Love love love your comment.

[@garyhook6383]

Great radio broadcast by Vin Scully for the Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn! A young Sandy Koufax turned in a good performance!

[@robertoguzman7088]

Must have been a very miserable day for the folks of Brooklyn the day the Bums left for Los Angeles. I was born and raised in LA in 1957 . Because of my father I became a baseball fan and also a devot Dodger fan. I had the pleasure of listening to Me Vin Scully & Mr. Jerry Doggett what a marvelous time I had. Thank you to both of you. But sometimes I wonder what if they had stayed in NY. It's ok they are where they should be. Thank you Brooklyn for the Dodgers.

[@26478me]

THANK YOU ALPINEINC, I enjoyed every second of this. Born in LA raised a Dodger Fan in 1955. My Dad had a small transistor-radio with an ear plug. I had my own and I can remember laying in bed a 7 years old listening to VINNY I LOVE VINCE SCULLY . NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO HIM. VIN WAS BORN TO SHARE BASEBALL WITH THE WORLD!

[@billsmith5985]

Amazing! You were born 5 years after Vin STARTED, and now at your age of 60+, he's STILL the broadcaster.... Scully will never retire, he will just not be at the park anymore.

[@meggraczyk5854]

Love everything about this broadcast, even the intermittent radio interference. I can imagine Dodger fans listening to the game on their transistor radio on the back porch on an early summer evening.

[@williammiller5532]

Vin scully is such an icon, greatest announcer in sports history

[@owensclock]

Next best thing to a time machine! This is incredible. You get to hear a broadcast legend (Vin Scully) in his younger days, some future Hall of Famers in action plus all of the atmosphere of Ebbets Field: PA man Tex Rickards barking out the batting order in the background, Organist Gladys Gooding with the National Anthem and of course the call of "Cold Beer" by the guys hawking it in the stands. I think I'll open up a cold Schaefer!

[@douglaslowe5]

those cold beers were 35 cents!

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

​@@douglaslowe5I don't know if Schaeffer beer is still being made, but even if it was, it wouldn't be 35 cents today.

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

Tex Rickards was as much a fixture at Ebbets Field as Bob Sheppard was at Yankee Stadium.

I'm pretty sure Gladys Gooding played the organ at Gil Hodges' funeral in 1972.

My uncle is Bob Speake who hit a homerun off Koufax this game. He batted lefty. As of November 11th 2011 he is still very much alive. I have a lifetime of hearing stories from my uncle.

[@alpineinc1]

Love this! Speake's HR is at 1:57:21. Turns out your uncle would take Koufax deep twice, the second time a few weeks later at Wrigley Field (7/30/57) for the eventual game-winner! 31 career HRs but 2 each off some good All-Star hurlers - Koufax, Lew Burdette, Sal Maglie, Sam Jones, Gene Conley.

I personally love how intimate the broadcast is, especially when Vin tells the listening audience to call Joe Pignatano's mom and let her know he's going to play. Also the announcement of the "Regular Family of the Game". I wish I could morph back to the mid 50's and go to a game at Ebbets Field.

My earliest memories of the Dodgers are from 1965 in LA,but my Dad was from Brooklyn and was always a Dodger fan in the old days.We moved to Cali in 1965 and Doggett and Scully were doing the games on KFI in LA. Doggett and Vin just go together! Ross Porter was good too later on with Vin. I'm 60 now and listening to this made me feel 8 again! Thank you!

[@mikezulim2567]

It is great to hear a young Vin Scully doing the game. Legend! I did not know that the Brooklyn Dodgers apparently played a few games in Jersey City. Also it is funny to hear the announcers say the invasion from the west, the west being teams from Milwaukee and Chicago! Of course the next year the Dodgers and Giants really would be way out west in LA and San Francisco.

[@1962drob]

Great to hear Vin Scully broadcasting a Brooklyn Dodger game in 1957. Sad that Brooklyn would lose the Dodgers the following year, along with the New York Giants. Both teams would head to Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1958.

Thanks for posting. Ps was the Cubs, Braves and Cardinals considered "Western" Division teams back then right?

Plus if not mistaken, the splitting of eastern and western divisions did not occur until 12 years later in 1969.

[@srmichel417]

No western division until 1969. But they called it a western road trip, and the western clubs, Cincinnati too. The rest were two in New York, two in Pennsylvania, a trip there referenced in this game.
