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. Last edited by perezfan; 08-03-2022 at 12:07 AM.

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!

One of the great joys of the internet era and MLB radio was getting to listen to Vin Scully. More than once would throw the Dodgers on late at night in Indiana for a few innings to just listen.
In 2014 my son and I spent more than two weeks in Europe. We were in London for a few days and woke up early to get in the ticket queue at Wimbledon. The Indians were playing at the Dodgers that week and I checked the score when I woke up in London - and saw "last night's" game was in extra innings. We listened to Vin Scully was we got ready for the day in London. Magical.
