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.

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.

In a class of his own! I used to tune in to games I had no interest in just to hear him. RIP
