How great is it to listen to Vin Scully calling a game

[the 'stache]

The Rays-Dodgers game was the final one to finish up last night. So, I flipped over to the game on my Roku, selected the home broadcast, and caught the last two innings.

The Dodgers were down 6-3 heading into the bottom of the ninth. Then, they just went nuts, and Vin Scully was in fine form. Skip Schumaker sent a soft fly ball to left center field. After Dee Gordon struck out, Mark Ellis tripled on a lazy fly ball to left that Ben Zobrist laid out for, and could not come up for, scoring Schumaker. Nick Punto then golfed a seeing eye double just inside the left field line, scoring Ellis to make it 6-5. Adrian Gonzalez then doubled to right, sending Punto home, tying it up. After Yasiel Puig was intentionally walked, Jerry Harriston, Jr hit a fielder's choice to first. Gonzalez scored on a throwing error to second by Ray closer Fernando Rodney.

Vin summed it up, as only he can. "the magic is here, even at home", a nod to the recent 17 game winning streak the Dodgers have had on the road.

Wow for the first 30 or so posts in this thread it was all Scully Scully Scully....then the tide turned a little. How refreshing to hear that I am not the only one that doesn't care for his work. Less is more.

Scully has slowed a bit, but is the greatest that has ever lived. It's like watching Babe Ruth play, the best ever. Only an idiot would say he is not good, sorry dumb observations hit a raw nerve. I have had Vin in my life longer than almost anyone else, a real treasure.

Cobb was the best ever, not Ruth. What? I'm an idiot because my opinion isn't the same as yours?......makes YOU the idiot.
