RIP

 

 

It seems like legends are going down fast. I guess I’m just of the age to consider them my legends. Enjoy life fully as long as you can!

RIP

 

Thank you for the memories.

As Bob Costas just said on MLB. There will never be anyone like him again.

From the NY Post.. 

At the end of his final broadcast, seated in the television booth at AT&T Park in San Francisco, where the Dodgers’ 2016 regular season ended, Scully left his fans with this message:

“You and I have been friends for a long time, but I know in my heart that I’ve always needed you more than you’ve ever needed me, and I’ll miss our time together more than I can say.

“But you know what? There will be a new day and eventually a new year. And when the upcoming winter gives way to spring, rest assured, once again it will be ‘Time for Dodger baseball.’ So this is Vin Scully wishing you a very pleasant good afternoon, wherever you may be.”

Maybe we need an Obituary sub-board.

Legend RIP

RIP Vinny.  The dodgers are an organization that I loathe from top to bottom with every part of my being. Vin is the only exception.

[Greg S]

RIP. He was just as much a Dodger legend as Lasorda.

Harry Truman was President when he started announcing.

One of the few people you can actually ‘hear’ his voice by simply thinking about him.

[Draconator]

As had been said earlier, Vin was an absolute legend. RIP.

RIP Mr Scully. You were a baseball broadcasting Icon and will be forever remembered  fondly. Im not even that big a fan of baseball and I liked him.

[SinceThe70s]

An absolute class act.  RIP. 

 

My greatest memory of Scully will always be the Mookie/Buckner call in '86. 

[Gugny]

Some of his best work ...

One of my favorite Scully calls, although I may not get it in the correct order, despite the fact that I have heard it more than once.

 

" the dueces are wild.  There are two men on base, and the count is two balls, two strikes and there are two outs."

[Nextmanup]

Sad to hear this, but he had a great ride! 

 

The legendary sports broadcasters are mostly gone now, and the sad part is they are not really being replaced by a newer, younger generation of equally great talent.

 

A dying breed.

Vin calling the game at Rich:

 

 

[Rico]

Vin Scully -

"He's 4th in the league in advancing runners from 2nd to 3rd base after the 6th inning in the month of July".

 

I never knew if it was shtick or serious, cause I pretty much tuned him out. Still, that longevity is amazing, may he RIP.
