White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest calls Vin Scully for Medal of Freedom

[@superkornfreak1]

"I'm just an old baseball announcer" No sir. You're a legend. RIP

[@msducks3397]

vin scully is the finest sports announcer probably ever (although I admit to a fondness for Chick Hearn of the Lakers), and one of the finest announcing jobs was the Kirk Gibson home run. I watched it live and being a Dodger fan, it was a stellar performance by one of the most recognizable voices in the country. he's well worth that medal.

Good ole Vinny, gotta love'em

[@wilrobles9824]

Well deserved. RIP Vinny.

[@Kenikex]

RIP, Vin Scully.

[@robz.3225]

Can't think of who could deserve it more..

[@Amber90125]

Vin Scully an extension of Red Barber

[@billhaywood3503]

used to listen to him in Brooklyn before the Dodgers turned into a money machine--then again what Dodgers? You broke our hearts and now you no longer exist

[@leinadem2]

they don't learn; things like that made regular Americans upset. They are so many people that fight daily without that much reward or acknowledgement for this country in many organizations in this country; and they chose these rich celebrities.

leinadem2 This is a award of freedom not honor. say what you'd like about Mr. Scully but he has brought joy and happiness to many hearts for the past 60+ years and showed the beauty of baseball

leinadem2 Vin scully got more class than you ever had

[@TobyCostaRica]

Wow, I think I found the only person on the internet that doesn't like Vin Scully

[@worldshaper1723]

Elon Musk deserve it more!

[@duncanny199]

I am sure Mr. Musk deserves many good things for all he has done in life but don't rain on Vin's parade thats just not right...p.s. look at the age difference of Musk, 45, and Vin, 88, at the time of the award so still plenty of time for Elton to receive an award of like manner

[@zerofckz6158]

World Shaper so does your grandma,for most hand jobs ever. 👏👏👏👏

[@Pyromorty]
