A tribute for the legendary LA Dodgers broadcaster, Vin Scully.
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 had a pillow to rest his head and a glass of milk and plate of saltine crackers to satiate his stomach. His soul, though, was stirred by the sounds of sport that rode the airwaves into his living room.
Enchanted by the evangelistic Southern drawl of Red Barber’s Brooklyn Dodgers play-by-play, Ted Husing’s candid college football commentary and the voices of other radio luminaries, such as Bill Stern and Byrum Saam, Scully first experienced the sensation that would lead him to a long and legendary broadcasting life of his own.
“My thermometer for the love of the game,” Scully once said, “is those goose bumps.”
In a radio and television career that touched eight decades, including 67 seasons as the trusted voice of the Dodgers, Vincent Edward Scully used his special talent and timeless touch to not only relay the game’s biggest moments but to evoke countless goose bumps of his own. Millions of sports fans who never met the man considered him a friend and a faithful companion. And so his death on Tuesday at the age of 94 elicited an outpouring of emotional tributes from around the world.
Commissioner Rob Manfred issued the following statement on Scully:
“Today, we mourn the loss of a legend in our game. Vin was an extraordinary man whose gift for broadcasting brought joy to generations of Dodger fans. In addition, his voice played a memorable role in some of the greatest moments in the history of our sport. I am proud that Vin was synonymous with Baseball because he embodied the very best of our National Pastime. As great as he was as a broadcaster, he was equally great as a person.
Vin Scully, the voice of the Dodgers for more than six decades, whose folksy manner and melodic language made him a beloved figure in American culture, died Tuesday, the team announced.

A household name in Southern California, where he held a running conversation with baseball fans each season, He was 94.
His career with the Dodgers, which dated back to 1950 when the team was still in Brooklyn, took off with the move to Los Angeles before the 1958 season. Wooing a new fan base, he was on his way to becoming one of sports’ greatest broadcasters, blessed with a knack for storytelling and, as veteran commentator Bob Costas put it, “the sheer sound of his voice.”
In an interview in 2016, his final season, Scully described his approach to the job simply: “I guess it’s kind of a running commentary with an imaginary friend.”
Among his most famous broadcasts was the 1965 perfect game by Sandy Koufax. With the Dodgers playing the Chicago Cubs, Koufax headed to the mound for the ninth inning needing three more outs. Scully told listeners it was “the toughest walk of his career, I’m sure.”
Koufax later said: “It may sound corny, but I enjoyed listening to Vin call a game almost more than playing in them. ... He definitely is the all-century broadcaster as far as I’m concerned.”
Born in the Bronx on Nov. 29, 1927, Vincent Edward Scully was only 7 when his father died of pneumonia and his mother moved the family to Brooklyn. Baseball was in his blood.
“We had this big old radio, and I would crawl underneath it, and the speakers would be directly over my head,” he told The Times in 1994. “Something would happen, and the announcer would get excited. The crowd would roar, the sound would come out of that speaker like water out of a showerhead, and it seemed to wash down on me.”
