Remembering Vin Scully

[@masterbratac7379]

Cubs fan here... You don't have to be a Dodger fan to want to check in to watch a video like this. Vin Scully is baseball. The last of the old guard of baseball's greatest class of broadcasters. And as much as I loved listening to Harry Caray growing up I think Vin is easily the best of the bunch. It's all of baseball that mourns this loss.

[@sitbone3]

I’m 75. I remember the dodgers coming to Los Angeles when I was a kid. And then there was this voice coming out of the radio. Mesmerizing. Hypnotic. Spellbinding. That voice would weave nine innings of baseball play by play mixed with wonderful baseball stories. You could almost smell the grass on the field and the hotdogs in the stands. He taught us the game. He taught us the rules. He brought the ballpark into our homes. He taught us to love baseball. He caused something to happen for the first time in baseball. People brought their transistor radios to the ballpark, even though the game was right in front of them, to listen to Vinnie call the game. I’m tearing up writing this.

[@chrismorris6865]

This was beautiful. Thank you.

[@zekelucente9702]

I’m 61 and grew up in Southern California and the passing of Vin Scully is one of the real touchstones of my life.

[@ajholmes3362]

Without question, the GOAT of sports broadcasting. Possibly the best at broadcasting period.

[@stevereynolds588]

My Dad was 2 year younger than you. He too had the same experience and passed his love for the Dodgers and Vin along to me. I've dreaded this day my whole life. Thankfully I was speaking to my lifelong best friend and fellow Dodger fan Shawn and HE broke the news to me. I immediately had to hang up and go cry my eyes out. A part of me and a part of my childhood died with Vin. Thank you for this.

[@zerubbablestranger6970]

I met Vin here in Las Vegas during a Spring Training stop for the Dodgers. I work in TV and I had the job of setting up the announce booth for the teams that would play that day. As I was putting some monitors in place, in comes Mr. Scully, we learned early in our career to be as polite as we could be to the “talent” and after I said “I’ll be out of your way in just a minute Mr. Scully” he looked around and replied “Mr. Scully? That was my Dad, I’m Vin and you are?” After laughing a bit I introduced myself and for the next hour he went out of his way to speak with an old camera guy who lived in Las Vegas but was a die hard Giants fan. He made me feel like an old friend within seconds, yes, knowing I was a Giants fan. So two years later the Dodgers return to Las Vegas and I was blessed to be on the TV crew again and yes, doing the same job as previously I had done. But this time, I walk into the announce booth and Vin is sitting there preparing for the game, he looks up, sees me and without so much as a hesitation says “Hey Christian! (my name) How are you? How’s your wife and daughter? Is she still playing soccer?” I was floored….. It took a moment for ME to gather my thoughts and I replied “ok Vin look, how am I supposed to respond to you when you know I’m a Giants fan?” His response with a wink was “well, we’ll keep praying and trying to convert you…” We talked for an hour and a half this time….. I’ve been very blessed to work with many many great announcers in many different sports and I can honestly say that Vin Scully was not only the Greatest of All Time, he was also the sweetest and most compassionate man in that position I have ever met. BTW, I almost became a Dodgers fan because of him…..

[@garyhoward2490]

I was born, in L.A. in 1956. The Dodger games were on the radio 4 or 5 days a week. I, quite literally, listened to Vinny, every game until his retirement. We went to hundreds of games in Chavez Ravine. I learned so much about baseball, baseball history, and life in general from Vinny. .....Unknowingly, at the time. After he retired, it has never even close to being as fun, and informative to listen or watch any ball game since Vinny retired. I am sure that ALL Angelinos share these same memories, and are truly heartbroken with A true member of L.A.s family having passed. Rest in Peace, Vinny. You are the absolute best of the best. All of us Love you, respect you, and miss you. Can't Express how much this man made to all Angelinos. ❤❤❤👍👍👍💔💔💔

[@johnhernandez495]

Simply, the voice of my childhood! Growing up in Culver City Ca. you could be outside on any Saturday or Sunday afternoon in the middle of summer while neighbors would be washing their car or trimming their hedges and hear the voice of VIN SCULLY describing DODGER baseball! We all new life was good, baseball is good, our beloved DODGERS are good! I was 12 years old, and now I'm 63 and there is NO DOUBT that VIN SCULLY will ALWAYS be the SHINING STAR in the City of Los Angeles!! I still hope to meet VINNY one day and shake his hand! I Hurt like all Dodger Fans for his loss, but grateful for what VINNY meant to all of us!

His like my Grandfather,Father,best friend even though I have never met him. I feel like I knew him. I cried like a baby last night just knowing that he will not be around. I’m glad he saw the Dodgers win the World Series in 2020.

Me too. I’ve been crying since. It’s like my grandpa died. I learned baseball from him. I loved listening to him for several years. My whole life

[@papadopp3870]

I hear you, my friend. Back in the early ‘70s, the postgame show had a “Your Questions, Our Answers” to which, you could send a question and if it was used, you’d get a pair of game tickets. I’ll never forget when I received an autographed picture postcard of Vinny on the steps of the Dodger dugout. In the same handwriting on the other side, a note said “Thanks for listening. I hope you hear your question soon! Vin.” I have had that card with me now for 57 years and it is a most cherished possession. Vin has a most unique grin, and I remember practicing the look in my mirror. It’s funny. Looking back in family pictures from 1970 thru my teens, and even publicity shots during the early part of my own radio career, there’s me sporting that endearing Scully smile. When I was offered the play-by-play job with the local Triple-A baseball team, man, did I lean on Vin. I realized really early on that what he did on his games was anything but easy. I had to work and dig like crazy to get material to do a 100th of the job Vin did. In 1980, Vin was interviewed on, I think, HBO, and he confirmed that he did hours of prep. Vinny was baseball to me. In so many ways he was a life coach, too. Vinny really loved talking to us, and that was obvious with every game he did. It was obvious when, post-retirement, he got rid on Twitter. He’d record himself chatting… maybe talking about current baseball, or things he recalled from the game he was a part of for 67 years. I’m glad he did those pieces on Twitter. I think he knew it helped those of us for whom Vin Scully always provided civility and love in a world that has far too little of both.

Mr. Scully loved Montreal and looked forward to going there when the Expos existed and the Dodgers came to play there. One of the saddest moments of his baseball broadcasting career also happened in Montreal in 1993 when his broadcast partner Don Drysdale didn't come to the ballpark and was found dead in his hotel room from a sudden heart attack. Mr. Scully admitted he didn't want to go on with that night's broadcast but was able to do it through his tremendous grief

As a kid in East L.A. (City Terrace hills) from our living room we'd watch the Dodger game on TV with the TV muted and listening to Vin on the radio. When the game wasn't televised my brothers and I would sit in our backyard balcony and listen to the radio and just stare at the lights from Dodger stadium. He was a part of our life and that's why I shed tears!! Thanks Vin for all those great memories

[@shaindaman13]

Im a Cubs fan and to us Harry Carey was our treasure. There was nothing like singing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” with Harry in the 7th inning stretch. After his passing, at Wrigley there would be a guest to carry that tradition on. During that time, the only time I ever remembered having real tears in my eyes was when Vin led the song. He too, was a treasure.

[@JimCarryz]

Today still hurts just as much as when the news was broken last night, and I imagine it'll continue to hurt for a long time. To say Vin was important to not only the Dodgers but to the city of Los Angeles would be the biggest understatement of the century. I'll never forget the time we got to spend in your company, Vinny; thank you for letting us come along for the ride.

[@daniellehall9240]

When I was in my late teens and early twenties the Dodgers were on KTLA. Before every game there was a segment called "Ask the Dodgers". I was watching one day, and Vin Scully said my name, and Tommy Lasorda went on to answer my question. I still think of that as one of the best memories of my life. I was so excited. Now that they are both gone I feel like part of me is gone too. RIP Vin.

Vin Scully was to baseball and to sports as cracker jacks, apple pie, peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, and everything else in between, he was the voice of reason, he was a voice who brought Joy to the world through Sports of any kind, no matter if it was baseball, or football, or any kind of sport even sumo. He could make you feel energetic. We share with all fans especially in Los Angeles today and abroad, our sense of loss too. We feel just as you feel, a sense of grief, a sense of appreciation, and a sense of pride. Before he became famous, he was a New Yorker, but when he did sports, he became a living treasure to all of us. There will never be another like him ever, he was one of a kind, and the type of mold of inspiration to Future journalists and sports commentators and so forth. Particularly this one who recently graduated from Bergen Community College who inspires to become a broadcasting journalist and more. Good night dear sir, good and faithful servant, May flights of Angels Sing t h e e to thy rest, we have the watch from here and we will continue to cheer on and enjoy baseball knowing that you left your imprint upon history in sports.

It's easy to sit here and reminisce on all his calls and moments. But that would only be scratching the surface of from what all accounts a truly amazing human Vin was. I cried last night for a man I never met but he was a familiar face and voice. He was more than an announcer he was the soundtrack to our summers and voice of our childhood. At my house he was more than the voice of the Dodgers he was family. He never spoke to all of us. He spoke directly to you. I've been dreading this day since I can remember. Vin your legacy your candor your ability to say nothing and everything all at once has never been lost on me. I cried when you retired and cried more last night when the news broke. But not because you're gone but because you've done everything one man can do in the vessel we call life. Now you being a man of faith I'm sure are reunited with your sweet Sandi! Vin you are family not just to me but everyone who ever loved the Dodgers. You're the reason why summer is was and always will be the best season. Why when fall came we sat there and counted the days until we heard God's voice call one more time "it's time for Dodger baseball". You sir did more for my Fandom than I can ever repay you with. My dear beloved Vin, rest easy and thank you for a lifetime of memories. Farewell sweet prince.

When I turned 7 years old my grandfather, who went to Chavez ravine and recorded the building of dodger stadium and recorded it being built on his hand held, suffered a massive stroke. Much like Anthony Hopkins character in legends of the falls, he could not speak coherently and was severely handicapped. “Vince” was our bridge, he spoke to us both when we couldn’t speak to each other.

A class act my favorite play by play announcer

Vin passed away a day before my 57 th birthday. I was born August 3, 1965. On August 2, 2022 like many of you, the news of his passing hit me hard. I was a huge fan of Vin Scully. I remember listening to him on Dodger radio growing up, calling NFL games for CBS in the mid 70’s to early 80’s and to NBC baseball game of the week from 1983 to 1989. I also got a glimpse of his short lived weekday afternoon show, The Vin Scully Show on CBS daytime in 1973. I was age 7 at that time. In 1989, I met Vin in person at a Dodgers/ Padres game in San Diego when I was stationed there in the Navy. Meeting Vin Scully in personal n was one of the best moments in my life. Our 10 minute chat was the best. Stories and memories that are a treasured gem. Vin was one of the finest people I ever met. An icon and a class act. He will be missed. RIP Vin Scully!

It's TIME for Dodger Baseball!! And a pleasant good evening to you where ever you may be.

[@edwardyoung522]

The greatest dodger of them all...

[@notez_jake5321]

My grandpa lived in Brooklyn when the dodgers were there and when the dodgers moved to Los Angeles, he moved. My Grandpa passed away shortly after Vin last year and I hope they are both together. Miss you both🥹

[@claimboxx]

I’m 57 years old. I can remember being three and four year old and listening to Vin Scully call Dodger games on the car ride with my parents. He is the only voice anyone can associate with Los Angeles baseball

[@scottpollack5453]

Vin Scully is the ICON in the World of Sports Broadcasting! No one and I mean no one did it better than him no matter what year or sport you are talking about! Vin Scully was and is the “Gold Standard” by which all broadcasters will be discussed and talked about! What I admire the most about Scully is the well known fact that he is the nicest person in the World! His Grace, integrity, humility and personality are epic and allows me to Love Him that much more! He was a kind and gentle soul! I will miss this Incredible Human Being! And I’m not even a Dodgers Fan!

[@lescobrandon3047]

Vin was my favorite since I was ten years old in Brooklyn. He was amazing and was the Dodgers voice. We loved that he was a lip reader and would tell what was being said during screaming matches between umpire vs manager. “Fertilizer!” Instead of “B_____it!”. When the Dodgers retreated to the left coast, the only times I saw Vin afterward was when he did World Series games and I enjoyed his work. Especially when my newer favorites, the Mets, played in 1986 series. He was a gem.

[@TdawggLA]

The soundtrack of my summer life. Thanks for the memories. Rest in peace

[@scgadrian4518]

RIP Dodgers legend. Thanks for making us love the game of baseball you will be missed. Fly high Vin.💙🤍🕊

[@rodolfohernandez772]

I'm watching this beautiful tribute to the amazing Vin Scully on a bus headed back to Las Angeles from visiting my father in Tijuana and I am losing it!! I am grateful I didn't break down in front of my dad because he is the reason that I love Vin Scully and everything about the Dodgers!! I couldn't believe we lost him yesterday! I can't begin to explain how much he meant to me and my family. I haven't had this overwhelming feeling of sadness and gratefulness at the same time. I'm trying hold back the many tears running down my face. Rest easy good sir and say hello to heaven and all the amazing people that have the privilege of having you there ✨️ ❤️ The world is much more sad now that the greatest sportscaster of all time has taken his final bow...

[@snavarro8232]

I have been to many events in my life, I have seen Lil Richard, Wolfman Jack, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, The Who, Grand Funk Railroad & Lenard Skinnard, Etta James, Huggie Boy, but I cried and felt like I lost my best friend tonight. We'll Miss You Vin.

[@oriolesfan7807]

Thank you Dodgers for putting this tribute online. Baseball fans were Dodgers blue 💙 for Vin. We earthlings lost him but heaven gained a legend.

[@franboy1357]

Vin Scully was a legend of baseball announcing. I will always remember him forever in my ❤.

[@Alex_TheeGreat...]

RIP Vin the voice of my childhood and even adult hood you made the game so much better LA will forever love you Vin we already miss you....

[@benchhak-ng3ii]

Absolute legend what a voice

[@KDF1974]

A good win yesterday over the Giants but a bittersweet day as well. I grew up with Vin Scully and I can't believe he's gone. Just as terrible when Chick Hearn passed away 20 years ago. I will miss Vin Scully forever. Nobody can ever fill his shoes.

[@motnosniv]

I remember listening to a game while lying on the couch. Vin's voice made it easy to take a nap.

[@jaimefrancisco7558]

Sad to hear this😞 Tears fell on my cheeks😢😢 When i saw the sad news in middle of the dodgers and giants game😞Thank you Vin Scully you are the best. Rest In Peace🕊🕊🕊

[@anneglines47]

I will always remember Vince Skully & Jerry Doggit. Great announcers . It's time for Dodger Baseball.

[@joooooe88]

part of my childhood gone. RIP to the legend and icon

[@samiam619]

From 1988 to 2020, every season the Dodgers broke our hearts by not making it to the finish line. (I’m looking at you Astrisks and Boston) Old time fans going back to Brooklyn days would say “Wait ‘til Next Year”. And we did. Waiting for Spring training to start so we could hear Vin for another year. My Mom and I would count down the weeks until we could say: “two weeks until Pitchers and Catchers report”! For that meant that Spring was almost here. Thank you Vin for everything. And I promise that next year and every year after, when “It’s Time for Dodger Baseball” we will all be thinking of you.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I was at Game 6 in 2017. My first WS game with my dad. He had not attended the Fall Classic since 1988. The next day doesn't change my fright, excitement and anxiety of being there.

[@devinlong7478]

One time when I went a game at Dodger Stadium, we sat several rows in front of the broadcasting area, and looking over my shoulder I could see Vin Scully calling the game. I don't think that's a memory that will ever leave me. Thank you for being my summer soundtrack, Vinnie. It will ALWAYS be "time for Dodger baseball."

[@klee92704]

I had the honor of running into Vinny one faithful Sunday afternoon at Dodger stadium when he came in early to prepare for the game. I vividly remember saying, hello GREAT Vinny, all he said back to me was there's nothing great about me. What a humble person he was. R.I.P. Great Vinny 💙

[@jesusrebolledo1116]

He was a legend an hall of fame mib

[@SuperIliad]

Well I remember hearing that voice broadcasting Brooklyn Dodger games and then, years later, moving to L.A. and being treated to that voice again.

[@dvlopez1087]

I walked away from baseball 20 years ago but still come back from time to time to listen to these old voices from my youth. I grew up listening to the Braves on Super Station TBS (Channel 17) in Atlanta but always respected Los Dodgers with La Sorda and the timeless voice of Vin Scully.

[@brianrussell7691]

Vin was the soundtrack of my youth. So blessed to have grown up listening to Vin Scully. How lucky were we to have both Vinny and Chick Hearn? It’s been about a week since his passing. Vince was on the front page lead 3 of 4 days and front page on the Sports page as well. I don’t know if any other celebrity, president, military leader, potentate or spiritual leader that garnered such admiration and recognition. God Bless you Vinny. The excellence in your craft was only exceeded by your humility.
