Remembering the iconic Vin Scully

MLB Network mourns the passing of iconic broadcaster Vin Scully.

His announcing was baseball poetry. There was none better.

Man, losing two legends of their craft the last two days. Scully has always been my favorite announcer of all time. There was something so inviting with his voice, and he was so descriptive. Don't have to be a Dodgers fan to respect a great announcer like Vin. RIP to the Voice of baseball Vin Scully

[touchdown]

No, Vin Scully, thank YOU for the stories, the legendary moments, the unforgettable calls, and your immeasurable contribution to the game of baseball. Jack Buck couldn't believe what he just saw because he had just seen the impossible. RIP from a grateful Cubs fan and a baseball fan.

The only person who could conjure the words to express our collective grief passed at the passing of Vin Scully was the great man himself.

I've never wrote this to anybody other than a letter I had written to vin while he was still announcing. But here it goes. Vin was of course the voice of baseball for me groing up in socal. But he brought something else. He was a role model, mind you without meeting him, for a young person going up. The kindness, the respect, and the hardworking ethics he lived, more than spoke about. He taught me about vocabulary, God, honor, hardwork, modesty, and loyalty. Whether he did this without knowledge of his actions or not almost makes it more amazing. He was truly a man amongst boys. He was someone to model yourself after. I just wish I had a chance to thank him, I wish my son would be able to hear him, and I wish we had more people like him.

As a chid I would fall asleep listening to Vin Scully broadcast the Dodgers games. Living in Northern California I could only get the LA broadcasts when the radio signal would bounce far enough to reach me near Lake Tahoe. I remember it like it was this morning. It fueled my love of baseball and I will forever hear his voice in my mind. RIP VS you will never be forgotten

[FlanMasterT.V]

I could still hear it now: Hi everybody and a very pleasant evening to where you ever may be.

My father was heartbroken when he found out his sister (my Tia), passed away back in Feb this yr. Then he finds out about Vin Scully's passing and he was devastated. I sat next to him, gave him a hug, and I told him "Look on the bright side dad, Tia is now hanging out with Tommy Lasorda and Vin Scully." R.I.P to a TRUE ICON! R.I.P Vin Scully! You will be missed! 😥

[NYYNYG]

RIP Sir. You were simply the best to ever broadcast the great game of baseball.

As a child in the 80’s, I always wondered why the adults would bring their handheld radios and soft-foam headphones to Dodgers games, when they could watch and listen in person. It wasn’t until some years later that I did the same, to listen to Vin while watching the games. Even watching from home, I’d mute the TV and listen to him announce, albeit way ahead of the broadcast signal. What a personality we got to enjoy for so many years. Win for Vin!

[NickWuebker]

Vin Scully was truly the voice of baseball and there will never be another one like him. No one could tell a story like Vin and I don't think anyone will ever be able to. Vin Scully was truly one of a kind and he will never be forgotten. Rest easy, Vin.

[TheMrEpiphany]

Aa a giants fan, this all hits deep. His sign off at AT&T will forever be etched into my memory. I'm grateful that Jon Miller is the first person in this video. A hall of fame broadcaster in his own right, who knows that even he cannot touch the status of Vin Scully.

[LazyMofos]

So many saturday mornings, when cartoons were over and sometimes after church... The best part of my weekends started with... It's for Dodger Baseball!!! Itll always be that way too

[richardkammerer]

A Metro Detroit fan that has enjoyed baseball on the radio since the 50s, this man is the best. Cheers!

[toddhill]

In the 70s and 80s we always brought a radio to games at Dodger Stadium to listen to Vin's call.

[Howbee]

The voice of baseball. My mom grew up a Dodger fan in the 60's, and passed that same love along to me. And Vin was always the one we pulled up a chair with to listen to the game and to all of his stories. We'll miss you deeply, Vin, baseball will miss you and we'll never forget all you taught us. Rest in Peace my friend.

The greatest voice in MLB history. A true legend. Thank you for everything, Mr. Scully!

Vince Scully has been what the world needs, a true gentleman.

[garyglenn]

We were so lucky to be able to hear his broadcasts every week here on the west coast!

My grandma grew up in Brooklyn watching the Dodgers. She loved Vin Scully. Even met him a few times in the early 50s.
