We remember Vin Scully who was born in The Bronx, New York on this day in 1927. He died in 2022.
Back in 1950, the Brooklyn Dodgers hired a young sports announcer named Vin Scully. He joined Red Barber and Connie Desmond in one of the most important radio networks in baseball history.
Vin replaced Ernie Harwell who went to work with the New York Giants but is better known for all of those great years calling Detroit Tigers' games.
Over the years, I've lived in cities with good announcers like the late Chuck Thompson (Orioles) and Mark Holtz (Rangers). I never heard Scully on a daily basis but did pick him up in post season games. He was great and very elegant.
We remember Vin Scully, the legendary voice of the LA Dodgers.
