I truly believe Vin Scully has the voice of God within.

Happy T-Day God!

Upon his death (may that never happen), he will become an immortal Baseball God. Long live Vin Scully!

Fuck it, just "voice over" Vin to whoever the Dodgers play after his passing. One of those guys I could listen to forever HD.

I did an experiment and went on YouTube and found games from 10-20 yrs ago. I wanted to see if Vin had lost a step and maybe it was so gradual that we didn't even notice.

He hasn't.

The man is as good as he's ever been.

My buddy actually met Vin at a Dodgers game early last season and said the man looks like he's in his late 60's. I think Mrs. Scully must be doing something to keep him young. :whistle:

Since he has long since stopped talking about the actual game that is going on behind him, they could probably do this without missing a beat.

Enjoy the voice while you can!

As a fan of Ernie Harwell I can honestly say you don't realize what you got till they no longer there.

Met him a bunch of times when I was working at the News-Press, he's a very humble and great guy.

Yep, still playing games after all these years. Vin's an old kid at heart.:suds:

In about 2012 when Vin was speculating retirement, his replacement was going to be Steve Lyons. Literally one of the WORST EVER!

Watch the bitching when fans have to listen to a replacement. They will think Bill Walton has switched sports!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Not as big a MLB fan as I used to be, but I feel a lot of compassion and empathy for anybody that doesn't like Vin. Simply put, he's amazing and an even better person. Met him several times when I worked for the News-Press and he's a great guy.
