Even people that hate the dodgers loved Scully. Rest in peace and see if maybe you can’t talk the big guy into a few more WS this decade. 😁 Off topic, but it’s awesome as a Dodgers and Skins fan that I have the Gibson home run and 70 chip to look back at and enjoy.

Not a Dodgers fan, but Kirk Gibson is an MSU alum, so there's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best thing about that moment, from a broadcasting perspective is that he lets the moment breathe. Gibson rounds the bases, Scully gives his classic call and then doesn’t say anything else for a minute or two. Just lets people watch and enjoy (or hate if you’re an A’s fan). The other thing I always forget about this moment…what a battle between Eck and Gibson! He kept fouling off pitch after pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 When Hank Aaron hit his leading HR at Fulton County Stadium...he announced it, and went to get a cup of coffee so he could let the crowd roar. What an amazing life. RIP. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balki1867 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Ouch, Bill Russell and Vin Scully, and the week isn't even half over. We're losing a generation of icons right in front of us. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 A fixture throughout my life time. Often just in the background but a joy to listen to him, always. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl05 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Put this in the MLB thread, but it really belongs here: Been reading and watching Vin Scully stuff all morning. This one is incredible. This is the transcript of his call of the 9th inning of Koufax's no hitter. Some of the most evocative and brilliant sports writing you'll ever see, and he just did it on the fly, off the top of his head. The man was a true artist and genius with words. https://www.salon.com/1999/10/12/scully_koufax/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
