Vin Scully

Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully, the radio voice of the Dodgers for nearly seven decades, has died. He was 94.

"Vin Scully was the heartbeat of the Dodgers — and in so many ways, the heartbeat of all of Los Angeles." He loved baseball and the Dodgers. And he loved his family. "He was the voice of the Dodgers, and so much more. It was during this stint that he made some of his most memorable calls. He then moved to NBC, where he was the network’s lead baseball play-by-play announcer from 1983-89. Scully’s velvety voice and smooth story-telling style made him one of the most beloved figures in the history of the Dodgers’ franchise.

The team has had many great players since World War II, but it was Mr. Scully, a gifted storyteller and a master of the graceful phrase, who became the ...

What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the State of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world. When Mr. Barber joined the Yankees’ crew in 1954, Mr. Scully got the Dodgers’ top broadcasting job. “Somewhere up in heaven Duke Snider, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Gil Hodges are laughing their heads off,” he told the crowd. “He told me not to get emotionally involved, not to have a good friend out there on the field; it might affect your judgment.” Seven runs, 16 hits for the winning Giants, 1-4-1 for the Dodgers. The winner, Matt Moore; the loser, Kenta Maeda. I have said enough for a lifetime, and for the last time I wish you all a very pleasant good afternoon.” After graduating in 1949, Mr. Scully worked that summer as a fill-in at WTOP, the CBS affiliate in Washington, broadcasting sports, news and weather. There was, Mr. Scully later recalled, no room for him in the Fenway Park press box. I’ll be listening to him and think, ‘I wish I could call upon that expression the way he does.’” Finally, he returned to the microphone: “What a marvelous moment for baseball. For all the Dodgers’ marquee players since World War II, Mr. Scully was the enduring face of the franchise. He began simulcasting on radio for the first three innings of every game in 2000. “On the scoreboard in right field, it is 9:46 in the City of the Angels, Los Angeles, California. And a crowd of 29,139 just sitting in to see the only pitcher in baseball history to hurl four no-hit, no-run games.

Vin Scully, Hall of Fame broadcaster for the Dodgers in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, died Tuesday, the team announced.

He said he realized time was the most precious thing in the world and that he wanted to use his time to spend with his loved ones. After retiring in 2016, Scully made just a handful of appearances at Dodger Stadium and his sweet voice was heard narrating an occasional video played during games. The street leading to Dodger Stadium's main gate was named in his honor in 2016. Scully also received the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award, which recognizes accomplishments and contributions of historical significance, in 2014. He often said it was best to describe a big play quickly and then be quiet so fans could listen to the pandemonium. "A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol," Scully told listeners. He loved baseball and the Dodgers. And he loved his family. He moved west with the Dodgers in 1958. Although he was paid by the Dodgers, Scully was unafraid to criticize a bad play or a manager's decision, or praise an opponent while spinning stories against a backdrop of routine plays and noteworthy achievements. With a snack of saltine crackers and a glass of milk nearby, the boy was transfixed by the crowd's roar that raised goosebumps. His mother moved the family to Brooklyn, where the red-haired, blue-eyed Scully grew up playing stickball in the streets. As the longest tenured broadcaster with a single team in pro sports history, Scully saw it all and called it all.

Legendary broadcaster Vin Scully, the "voice of the Dodgers" for more than six decades, died Tuesday, the team said.

After he retired, Scully made just a handful of appearances at Dodger Stadium and his sweet voice was heard narrating an occasional video played during games. Scully’s other children are Kelly, Erin, Todd and Kevin. A son, Michael, died in a helicopter crash in 1994. He moved west with the Dodgers in 1958. In 1953, at age 25, Scully became the youngest person to broadcast a World Series game, a mark that still stands. “What a marvelous moment for baseball.” I’m just an old baseball announcer,’” Obama said.

In the apartment home of a Bronx silk salesman and his red-haired wife, the boy would lie beneath his family's large, four-legged radio. A young Vin Scully ...

What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world,” he said. He loved baseball and the Dodgers. And he loved his family.

Legendary broadcaster Vin Scully, the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers for more than six decades, has died at the age of 94, the team announced Tuesday.

"The Dodgers Vin Scully was one of the greatest voices in all of sports. From the broadcast booth perch, Scully became the narrator for the story of baseball's greatest franchises. in the city's history. "He united us, inspired us, and showed us all what it means to serve. He is survived by his five children, 21 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He loved baseball and the Dodgers. And he loved his family.

Su carrera con los Dodgers, que se remonta a 1950 cuando el equipo aún estaba en Brooklyn, despegó con el traslado a Los Ángeles antes de la temporada de 1958.

El Salón de la Fama del beisbol lo incorporó a su ala de locutores en 1982, el mismo año en que recibió una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood. Cortejando a una nueva base de fanáticos, estaba en camino de convertirse en uno de los mejores locutores de deportes, bendecido con una habilidad para contar historias y, como lo expresó el veterano comentarista Bob Costas, “el sonido puro de su voz”. Su carrera con los Dodgers, que se remonta a 1950 cuando el equipo aún estaba en Brooklyn, despegó con el traslado a Los Ángeles antes de la temporada de 1958.

When the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn in 1958, Vin came with them. For more than six decades, he provided the soundtrack for generations of baseball fans. He was ...

Over his remarkable career, Vin consistently demonstrated the remarkable ability to improvise poetry, a true artist whose love for the game rang through every Dodgers broadcast. He was a master storyteller whose calls had an unparalleled musical quality that was a source of comfort for millions. For more than six decades, he provided the soundtrack for generations of baseball fans.

Scully was the Dodgers' play-by-play man from 1950-2016 and worked for CBS Sports from 1975-82.

He loved baseball and the Dodgers. And he loved his family. He also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016. "He was the voice of the Dodgers, and so much more. In addition, his voice played a memorable role in some of the greatest moments in the history of our sport. Or, as it came to be called, simply, The Catch: Scully, who called various nationally televised football and golf contests for CBS Sports from 1975 to 1982, started his broadcasting career in 1949 after attending Fordham University, where he studied journalism and was a student broadcaster.

Everyone associated with baseball wanted more to happen when it came to Scully. He officially turned down an offer from Fox Sports to be part of its MLB All- ...

7. Scully didn’t just call the action on the field. 2. One of my Sports Illustrated career highlights was interviewing Scully on my old Hot Clicks Podcast in 2012. He is legitimately the only sports figure who I've never seen anyone say a negative word about on Twitter. “I just think I don’t belong there. The voice, the pacing, the style, the details, the smoothness. I just don’t feel right doing that.”

The legendary Dodgers broadcaster, who died Tuesday at age 94, was a modern Socrates, only more revered. He was simultaneously a giant and our best friend.

It is eternal, not because of the preservation of his famous calls, but because of how he lived a beautiful life. It is based on humility: The speaker begins with the needs of the audience, not a personal agenda. But what made Vin the voice of summer, not just baseball, was the natural ease of his manner. For 19 minutes he revealed as much of his personal philosophy as he ever did. On the call was Vin Scully. “I like people to think of me as a friend,” he once said. The intersection of car culture, the transistor radio and few televised Dodger games in the team’s first decade in Los Angeles? Sure, all of that. What made Vin Scully the greatest baseball broadcaster ever, one of the most trusted media personalities and one of America’s best 20th-century storytellers? Having worked the national radio broadcast for the last All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium in 1980, one of 12 such Midsummer Classics he did, Vin kidded on the square about his goal working those games, when substitutes enter in waves: “Just don’t mess it up,” he said. I mean, I have a big debt to pay in heaven—I hope when I get there—because the Lord has been so gracious to me all my life.” He said just so when Sister Virginia Maria of the Sisters of Charity at the Incarnation School asked her grammar school students to write an essay on what they wanted to be when they grew up. “I remember I was so excited because it was Opening Day and Don Newcombe was pitching,” Scully said.

El legendario locutor Vin Scully, la voz de los Dodgers de Los Ángeles durante más de seis décadas, murió a los 94 años, anunció el equipo.

Ese fue uno de los más de 20 juegos sin hits que Scully cubrió en su carrera, anotó el equipo. Barber fue una influencia temprana en el joven locutor cuando le dijo al Salón de la Fama del Béisbol: "Red fue mi maestro... No fue tanto que me enseñara a transmitir. No sé, podría haber sido el hijo que nunca tuvo. Era un gigante, no solo como locutor, sino también en lo humanitario", dijo Kasten. Amaba la vida.

Vin Scully was so much more than just the longtime voice of the Dodgers. He was a national treasure for generations of sports fans.

"What a marvelous moment for baseball; what a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia; what a marvelous moment for the country and the world," he said. In his last season in the booth, Scully recited the iconic "People will come" monologue from "Field of Dreams" to mark the start of spring, reaching forward and back in time all at once. Scully liked to say that he wasn't broadcasting, he was having a conversation; he was talking to you. He also knew when to have fun, and seemed to truly enjoy the game. For all his gifts with language, the greatest baseball announcer who ever lived might have been the greatest baseball announcer who ever lived because he knew when to shut up, too. He loved to tell stories and reminisce with scouts and reporters who'd been on the beat a long time -- the one about the night he and Joe Garagiola had to lie down in the back seat of a car to sneak out of Tiger Stadium in the literally riotous minutes after Detroit had won the 1984 Series was a doozy. And he never seemed to understand what all the fuss was about. He was a witness to history, there in the demoralized Dodgers' clubhouse in the aftermath of Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World;" there on the air for Don Larsen's last perfect pitch in the '56 World Series; there shouting "Clark caught it!" He wore gold cufflinks, a gold watch and gold-rimmed glasses to the ballpark. He tended to stay clear of the field and the clubhouse -- Barber had told him once not to get too close to the players, and he never forgot it. L.A. was a football town then, but as Hall of Fame right fielder Duke Snider later remembered, Scully "educated" Angelenos on the game and made them care about the Dodgers, made them fans. AS A BOY, Vincent Edward Scully often lay on the floor in the front room of his family's Washington Heights fifth-floor walk-up, put his head on a pillow tucked under a tabletop radio and listened to Saturday morning football games.

The Dodgers' move to Los Angeles was made seamless by a man who never said too much and was perfect for his new surroundings. His old surroundings still ...

He realized that a momentous play deserved the roar of the crowd rather than the roar of the broadcaster. He carried himself with the aura of a self-confident but low-key star. Major League Baseball had come a long way since Walter O’Malley ran away with Our Bums. Baseball had grown from essentially the eastern half of the United States to a worldwide sport. Instead, Mookie Wilson’s little dribbler slithered past the aching legs of first baseman Bill Buckner, and the World Series was suddenly extended to a seventh game. In 1958, only 30, Vin Scully was the repository for the history of a franchise beloved in another world. Barber, no stranger to alcohol, told Scully that he could not afford to be seen having a beer because it could be held against him if he had slip-up at the microphone. Scully’s impeccable reliance on the action on the screen served him well two World Series later when an injured Kirk Gibson hobbled up to pinch-hit with the Dodgers trailing the Oakland A’s. He tersely called the game-changing homer, but then went silent for 65 seconds as Dodger Stadium erupted, then made one brief comment, and went silent again for 29 seconds. (“Tearing up the pea-patch,” “the two teams are having a rhubarb,” the Dodgers are “sitting in the catbird seat” — we came to know exactly what each one meant.) But behind the jocular and charming regionalisms, Barber was a complicated religious man who had once thought about being a teacher. Gil Hodges and Duke Snider came to the Mets as faded icons, but Scully would materialize on the air waves at the peak of his game. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the State of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world. His mellow, pull-up-a-chair approach was like having a beloved elder explain the game unfolding on the field. (The noive of them.)

St. Louis, Mo., Aug 3, 2022 / 14:38 pm. Vin Scully, who called Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games for more than two-thirds of a century, died Tuesday at his ...

Scully joined the announcers’ team for the Dodgers in 1950, when he was just twenty-two. In 1972, his wife died of an accidental medical overdose, and in 1994 his adult son, Michael died in a helicopter crash. In 2016, Scully — a devotee of the Virgin Mary — created a two-CD audio recording of the rosary. He also earned a Personal Achievement Award from the Catholic Academy of Communication Professionals in 2016. A gifted orator and storyteller who was dubbed a “poet-philosopher of baseball,” Scully deftly narrated numerous momentous events in baseball during his 67 seasons as a broadcaster. Despite being a private person outside of the recording booth, preferring to spend time with his family, he often would allow charities to auction off the privilege of having lunch with him to raise money for good causes, such as supporting people with Down syndrome.
