The greatest Vin Scully 🎤

[@anibalsosa5727]

Thanks for having this. Vinny is the best and what a knowledgeable story teller .

[@timrobinson7373]

Love the little story Vin Scully told about Joe Pepitone and LEO THE LIP you can tell people had their radios on when he finished the story thousands are laughing at end of the story

[@duanedorman6134]

Thanks to KZbin, Vin Scully lives forever. This is when baseball was a real man’s game. When baseball had a Commissioner who knew what he was doing.

[@chuckrawlings9518]

Joe Mullaney, who Vin Scully referenced at 1:14:00, was also referenced in the recent Tigers-Orioles game post from 1975 as the new coach of the ABA Baltimore Claws, which promptly folded a few weeks after that broadcast without playing a regular season game(only 3 pre-season games)

[@oldiesgeek454]

Baltimore Claws... Interesting, that would make for a good sports trivia question. 😊

[@douglaslowe5]

Baltimore also had a hockey team , the Blades, that lasted 11 games in 75 before folding.

[@joejordan1259]

He also coached the Los Angeles Lakers in the early seventies.

Sandy Vance, the second best pitcher named Sandy in Dodgers history... 😃

[@orbyfan]

And the second best surnamed Vance.

[@douglaslowe5]

Dazzy!

[@alvinwagner6745]

But probably not the second best overall Sandy. (Amoros)

It's odd that Vin Scully says at about 24:40 that Orlando Cepeda would be leading the St. Louis Cardinals into Los Angeles, since Cepeda was in his third season with the Atlanta Braves at the time.

[@douglaslowe5]

Weird brain fart by Vin. Even the best aren't perfect.

[@donwert5039]

I caught that too.

[@fatfreddyscat5767]

Jerry "national anthem sung by Sarah Vaughan". Would've been cool to be able to hear her.

[@joejordan1259]

In the 74 World Series game one at dodger stadium she was there to sing the national anthem and completely and totally messed it up what embarrassment for her. She was never invited back before she passed away.

Johnny Callision in right field for Cubs and Dick Allen in left field for Dodgers. Amazing comment from a Phillies fan.

[@donwert5039]

Callison had 2 decent years. That's al , just 2 decent years. Phillies were terrible from 1951 thru 1975

[@kevinpyne5808]

@@donwert5039 Agreed, but at least the Phillies fan had a little to cheer about in the 1960's.

[@douglaslowe5]

Allen had one uneventful Dodger season. Was so glad to get out of what was then a graveyard for hitters.

[@donwert5039]

@@kevinpyne5808 I remember buying a pack of 1972 baseball cards and reading on the back of the Rick Wise card that he pitched a no-hitter and hit two home runs in the same game I guarantee that's a record that will never be broken this happened in 1971

[@kevinpyne5808]

@@donwert5039 I watched that game on TV after one of my little league games. Only pitcher to throw a no hitter and hit two home runs same game. Richie Ashburn interviewed him immediately after his teammates mobbed him. I remember it like it was yesterday.

[@billslocum9819]

The only thing better than a Vin Scully TV call is a Vin Scully radio call.

[@douglaslowe5]

@@billslocum9819 tru dat. When O'malley sold Dodgers and they finally started televising home games it was a waste of Scullys incredible talent.

[@oldiesgeek454]

@@douglaslowe5 I can still recall, this was the first year I saw a Dodgers "regular season" home game televised in the LA area on channel 11 KTTV. It was the last game of the season against the Astros. The Dodgers won that night, but so did the Giants. Thus, the Giants won the NL West by 1 game over LA.

[@douglaslowe5]

@@oldiesgeek454 The Dodgers even got permission from The Padres to televise Giants Pads game into LA that night via KTLA 5. Tom Harmon announced the game. I was a very disappointed 10 year old that night.

[@sc2win]

I remember the 71 season so well because I became totally immersed in baseball that year thanks to my dad. In fact, on a lark I just decided to search KZbin to see if there were any 71 games to listen to when I came across this gem. We were at the last game of the season listening to Vinny for updates on the Giant game. I was really heartbroken the Giants had won the West. The 71 season will always be the most memorable for me.

[@gabbyhyman1246]

Did he say Steve Garvey at third???

[@fatfreddyscat5767]

Yep .. he had a terrible arm and when Wes Parker left, Garvey moved to first, and the Penguin became a mainstay at third.

[@gabbyhyman1246]

@@fatfreddyscat5767 thanks. I was in high school distracted. My favorite Dodger was Gil Hodges and he came up as a catcher!

[@oldiesgeek454]

Yes, and Bill Russell in the outfield too.

[@orbyfan]

@@fatfreddyscat5767 Garvey played a little in left field, too.

[@sc2win]

To his dying day my dad thought the world of Gil Hodges.

[@beast1960]

Is the national anthem part of the recording?

[@orbyfan]

When I think of Dodger outfields of the '70s, I think of Buckner, Wynn & Crawford or Baker, Monday, and Smith, not Allen, Russell, & Mota.

[@anibalsosa5727]

They also had Mota, Davis, Crawford in those years.

[@joejordan1259]

You forgot Willie Davis and Jack Hawkins.

[@orbyfan]

@@joejordan1259 I did forget Willie; I don't remember Jack Hawkins.

[@beast1960]

Do you have the national anthem? At least her name was announced.
