He began calling Dodgers games when they still played in Brooklyn; incredible. He was a phenomenal broadcaster whose tremendous career will likely never be replicated. GOAT? Hard to argue against that.

R.I.P. indeed.

Vin was outstanding at every sport. Perhaps the best PXP announcer in sports history. Loved his storytelling and the fact that he let big moments breathe by not talking constantly compared to so many of today's announcers.

Los Angeles was very lucky to have him for so long. There will never be another one like him.

67 years is a record, especially for one team.

R.I.P. Vin.

Here's a wonderful clip of Vin Scully allowing the crowd noise to describe the last out of the 1984 World Series.
