I did the same. Living 100 miles north of Candlestick, often the best reception of the Vegas station (the only one I could get) was in the middle of the street in front of our house. I used to lay in the street with a pillow. The local police would ask the score as they drove around me on their nightly rounds.

I grew up in Temple City, south of LA. He, Jerry Doggett and Ross Porter were my guys every Saturday. I guess I got spoiled by listening to the very best, because its hard for me to listen to some of the talking heads who announce today. RIP Vin. You were head and shoulders better than the rest.

I vividly remember being a Reds Fan living in SoCal, and going to Dodger games in the 1970s. Vinnie's voice would reverberate throughout Dodger Stadium from portable radios on all sides.

It wasn't enough just to see the game.... Vin's voice was needed to complete the Dodger experience.

The best ever - hands down - 67 years behind the mic….class act…

We need more Vince Scullys in this world….

RIP Vince….

I can hear him now.

"It's time for Dodger baseball! Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant, good afternoon to you, wherever you may be."

Class act, they don't make em like that anymore. RIP Mr Scully, from a diehard Giants fan.

Even though my Dodgers allegiance has faded over the decades, I have always felt I was blessed to follow the Dodgers in my youth, because of Vin Scully. Absolutely no announcer meant as much to me, just symbolized baseball, and I doubt his decency and understanding of the game has or will be duplicated by any other announcer. Thanks Vin!

Some wonderful tributes for a wonderful person. The great ones continue
to leave us...sigh. Rest in peace.

I grew up on the East Coast, but man those countless nights with the little transistor radio, listening to Senators and sometimes Orioles games and once in a while you'd pick up some superstation from FAR away. I'm not sure baseball will ever mean as much to the newer generations but maybe that's wrong, I hope so.
