	Vin Scully - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vincent Edward "Vin" Scully (born November 29, 1927 in The Bronx, New York) is an American sportscaster, known primarily as the play-by-play voice of the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers baseball teams.
		Vin knew he wanted to be a sports announcer the moment he became fascinated with football broadcasts on his radio.
		Scully impressed his boss with his coverage of a gridiron match from frigid Fenway Park in Boston, despite having to do so from the stadium roof (expecting an enclosed press box, Scully had left his coat and gloves at his hotel, but never mentioned his discomfort on the air).

		Scully's remarkable tenure as the "Voice of the Dodgers" began in 1950 when he joined Red Barber as a member of the Brooklyn club's radio team.
		Many adjectives have been used to describe Scully and his style since his declaration to a teacher at the age of eight of his ambition to become a sports announcer: entertaining, precise, proficient, charming, friendly, outgoing, smooth, relaxed, warm, knowledgeable, intelligent, literate, concise, well-prepared, colorful.
		Scully has covered many of baseball's most thrilling moments, including Sandy Koufax's four no-hitters, Hank Aaron's 715th home run, Maury Wills's 104 stolen bases, Don Drysdale's and Orel Hershiser's scoreless inning streaks, and Kirk Gibson's dramatic home run in Game One of the 1988 World Series.

		Vin Scully's radio call of the ninth inning of Sandy Koufax's 1965 perfect game against the Chicago Cubs is pure baseball literature.
		One of the chapters was a transcript of Scully's call of the ninth inning of Sandy Koufax's perfect game against the Chicago Cubs in 1965.
		And Scully's vast knowledge of the game, his incredible store of anecdote both old and new, the fruits of his almost obsessive preparation, need not play second fiddle to some former backstop with strong opinions about when to employ the hit-and-run.

		People have described Scully's voice as "velvety" and "silky." Sports Illustrated's Steve Rushin wrote that it is like "drawn butter." There's honey in that voice, and warm milk, and the subtle breaths and emphases of your uncle telling you a bedtime story that you never want to end.

		Scully is often praised for his musical, almost lyrical voice, and his brilliant command of language.
		Esteemed broadcaster Dick Enberg said of Scully, "He paints a picture more beautifully than anyone who's ever called a baseball game." His broadcasts are so brilliant that, unlike virtually all other baseball broadcasts, Scully still works without a color analyst.
