Vin Scully on the Dan Patrick Show (Full Interview) 7/01/14

[@tonyduran4293]

Rest in peace Legend! My life as Dodger fan has been intrinsically paired with this silky smooth voice. I could listen for hours.

[@80s_monsterkid28]

Well said. We literally pulled up a chair, and joined him on a nightly basis.

[@GiantPinhead]

We had it so good with Vin Scully. How lucky we were, for generations.

[@Roostermania2010]

There will never be another Vincent Edward Scully 🎙💙💖💔 He will be forever missed 😢 November 29, 1927 ~ August 2, 2022

[@Trom5464]

What a treasure this man is. God bless his soul.

[@keefriff99]

What a lovely man. Truly a national treasure. I love the big childlike smile on Dan's face...he's like a kid in a candy store throughout the interview.

[@DanLeeTime]

This is Vin Scully's world, we just live in it.

[@1burnman]

That's absolutely right

[@andrewpestotnik5495]

I want him to narrate everything I do LOL

[@docantonio2001]

@@andrewpestotnik5495 AMEN brother!

[@malkinmalone]

What a great place to live!

[@garse70]

What a humble, fucking gentleman. I’ve missed his voice for 6 years and now will forever. Dodgers, please develop an app with recorded, Vin Scullyisms.

[@garystern932]

I don't mind saying I have a few tears in my eyes. I would never have had the guts to ask Vinnie a question about what skill diminishes in an announcer. Vin is 86 years old and sooner or later Father Time will pay a visit to Vin. That he has stayed away for the most part is one of true miracles of our time. Congrats to Dan on a great interview; not a pro forma one at all, but one Dan clearly relished and for which he prepared. Vin clearly enjoyed himself! I have met the man twice and I will never forget hearing that Voice in person and thinking to myself: oh my, it is the same voice as has been coming to me through a box for all of my life! Thanks Dan (and Fritzie!)

[@linjapanese77]

thats awesome. thank you for sharing.

[@brianhall619]

Best broadcaster in the history of baseball, IMO. And this is coming from me as a GIANTS fan. Vin was the BEST.

[@BlakeMan-zv3fz]

The legend might not be here with us on earth anymore, but his voice will live on forever.

[@JOberacker]

Thank you Dan for a great interview. And thank you Vin. RIP dear friend, who I never met in person, but who added so much to my life.

[@boogernights1]

I cannot believe how lucky I am to have listened to his voice in the 24 years I've been alive. When other kids were put to sleep with stories of knights, princesses and other tales, my little brother and I were sticking forks and aluminium foil into our radio to try and hear Vin call the game as we fell asleep. Sleeping to stories of Hank Aaron, Harmon Killebrew, Jackie Robinson, this season and that season... I love Vin in a way that does not allow me to imagine a Dodger game without him. #ThinkBlue #Dodgers

[@impitt28]

+Nerd Jocky Very well said. May I use that quote?

[@boogernights1]

Of course!

[@danielperry8221]

I grew up loving/playing baseball and listening to Vin Scully -what a gem- RIP

[@1burnman]

VIN Scully is the finest he really is he's like fine wine gets better with age

[@Craig-ib7gk]

This is a truly outstanding interview between a titanic legend in baseball coverage and an outright matador in sports reporting: Vin Scully and Dan Patrick. Vin is simply magnificent. I'm 47 as of this post, and my first memory of hearing a called game was his voice when I was merely 4. It has *always* been a pleasure to hear him deliver. His balance of commentary, timing, and silky delivery is among the best there's ever been. Announcers become preferred like tastes for fine wine or cigars; everyone has their preferences. There is little argument that Scully has always been near the top of anyones list, and at the pinnacle for many. Dan Patrick is just-plain unflappable in his interviews. This is no exception. That man has easily the thickest rolodex of anyone in sports reporting, developed after such a long and involved stint at ESPN, and it as only grown further with time, so much so now that it transcends sports and envelops much of pop culture. He always brings consistently good, direct questions, and *always* lets his guests have the time to develop and elaborate their answers; part of what has made his interviews engaging and memorable. Just an outstanding treat. Thank you ever-so much for sharing!

[@HiFiPlayer]

Pure awesomeness. It's so incredible he has been commentating since the 1950's!

[@lainaminute]

Stellar interview with an amazing announcer (and person).

[@jeffgreen866]

So humble, yet so amazing.

[@ntg128]

Get great at what you do and you become a Vin Scully, a class act!

[@chosty1978]

Voice from heaven Vin Scully 💙

[@robertjrobicheau8456]

Vin Scully had a presence with his voice. A very rare trait. I never lived on the west coast and root against the Dodgers always. However, when he speaks I found my listening intently because I know I'm going to learn something. A stud announcer and person. Baseball and the human race lost a very smart, humble , eloquent man.

[@Ohio2121]

Both were great. Dan asked some very good questions and Vin just hasn't lost a step. Such awesome answers that even an idiot like myself could understand. Maybe the best interview with Vin that I've ever heard.

[@enleger]

What a segment!!

[@usssanjacinto1]

Dan Patrick probably feels like a kid again listening to Vin's stories.

[@MrBigman26]

I could listen to Vin Scully reading the phone book# Golden Voice

[@ManuteBolbasaur]

The Grandfather of Los Angeles

[@davidtovar3308]

one word for this "LEGEND"

[@robertmares8088]

I was 8 when the Dodgers came to LA. I would take my transistor radio to the Coliseum and would listen and watch with everyone else. At home, I would go to sleep listening to the Dodgers (games started at 8pm) and my dad would come in and turn off the radio when I fell asleep. One game, Vin got the whole crowd at the Coliseum to yell a happy birthday to the umpire, Frank Secory - who was quite shocked. I am going to LA next and guess who I'll get to listen to again!

[@duffyy1]

Class act!

[@geoffreynutt845]

RIP. Never be another. The best.

[@therealmofentertainmentllc4110]

This was one of the most remarkable interviews I have ever had the pleasure to view! Genuine professionals at their best... Having the video to go along with this took the cake though... As I was feeling amused by seeing the childlike, starry-eyed grin on Dan's face, enjoying his job and hearing Vin's answers to the marvelously thoughtful interview questions, I, also, had the pleasure of looking up from my screen and into a mirror that owned an image of myself with the exact same grin! As a lifelong Dodger fan, I have long been touting our good fortune of knowing our team through Vin's eyes, voice and experiences... and of course, enjoying every moment that I have had the pleasure of listening to! Thank you Dan Patrick for following suit! Absolutely amazing work! :)

[@alexinfante8763]

Vin Scully is Dodger Baseball

[@andrewpestotnik5495]

he really is

[@mrt10x]

Last year I happened to be on a long road trip during the LA/St Louis NLDS. One night Vin would call the game,,,the next night the SL announcers would call the game, this was on SIRIUS. I was absolutely shocked at the difference between the two games. Vin was professional, courteous, and balanced. The SL announcers sounded like a bunch of kids, they were biased, belittling, and sounded like a bunch of asses. If the Dodgers make it to the post season again this year.. take a listen to the calls on subsequent nights...you will see why Vin is the single greatest sports announcer of all time.

[@LauraGlorybelle]

Love Vinnie!

[@Qdub34]

The best to ever do it. Also, the greatest dodger ever.

[@wiedep]

THE BEST...

[@N1120A]

Bret Hart's catchphrase applies to Vin more than anyone

[@MBustos828]

Came here the day after Vin Scully passed. Rest easy, sweet prince.

[@SuperDrewFranklinFranchise]

R.I.P. Vin Scully.

[@marioraez2205]

Vin had a Mr. Rogers like quality to him.

[@yommish]

Be accurate, be fair, be humble, “get out of the way” for the crowd and ambience. The greatest of all time. The antithesis of John Sterling.

[@micperez819]

I was always wishing that Pixar would have had Vin voice a character for one of their movies

[@kevinbergin9971]

6:04 "Joe Paterno will coach until he dies." Weird to hear that one.

[@nicholasarellano5667]

Rest easy Vin. Call a game for my dad up there would ya

[@COMMONsenseAdvocate86]

Ahh Vinnie was definitly the master of the comfortable silence. It is pretty much impossible to find another broadcaster in the history of Americas number one all time radio sport; baseball, who had the ability to make a minute + silence as far from uncomfortable as it possibly gets. Greatest baseball announcer of all time

[@STWRITES1]

Vin quoted from "Plato's Republic." "Know thyself."

[@geoffreynutt845]

60. I hardly missed a game.

[@TheFukkup]

I agree with Scully on everything he said but Kershaw must of listen to this interview this yearas fuel because he has 2 Complete games already and hes on pace to strikeout 300+ batters! GO KERSHAW!

[@svetcovladich9996]

GOLD

[@encinobalboa]

Vin talks about his job as a privilege rather than an entitlement. That's the difference between earning something and being given something.

[@mooshuguy5141]

Even when the Dodgers weren’t in the hunt, he’d make a mid August yawner worth listening to.

[@RD2564]

Those many years with this old man talking to himself in the booth while the Dodgers under performed expectations were annoying and disturbing. Vin was a Curt Gowdy impersonator and now that he's dead our long national nightmare of constantly hearing about how he was the greatest ever is over ...

[@sadbravesfan]

Found the malty Madres fan 🤡

[@reneleggs]

Vinnie is the BEST! The VERY BEST!
