Vin Scully

Baseball has always been the perfect game to listen to on the radio. We use to pick up games late from other time zones, sometimes in the car heading home or, if the winds were blowing correctly, on our transistor radios in our bedrooms.

Can you imagine doing a job for 67 years? Vin Scully is speaking on his final Dodgers Radio/TV broadcast after 67 years behind a baseball microphone this coming Sunday.

According to Bob Raisman of the NY Daily News:

"With all the turmoil and divisiveness surrounding our country, with riots in the streets and uncertainty — politically, economically, and socially — there, once again, was Scully, the Hall of Fame diversion. At 88, he had been here before working through troubled times."

I am sure I heard him growing up and have many moments since. I have always marveled at his authenticity on both radio and TV, especially radio, even when I was too young to know better.

Well done, Vin! You haven given us all something to strive towards.
