Vin Scully To Return For 61st Dodgers Season

The Dodgers announced today that Vin Scully will return for his 61st season as L.A. Dodgers' announcer. His voice still sounds great after all these years (and this coming from a Reds fan!).

Had the pleasure of listening to Vin a couple of nights on XM during the playoffs this year. He's starting to sound a little bit aged, but he's still just as sharp as ever.

 

I subscribed to the last two monthds of MLB.TV, just to catch as much Vin as possible. Still the best.

 

" A little roller up along first"...need we say more?

And in case anyone's forgotten. Maybe the best eight and a half minutes of baseball play by play

 

One of the best parts of living where I do is getting Dodger games on FSN. I am a Dodgers fan, but even if I wasn't I would watch them over the Angels for two reasons, Scully and the fact that AL baseball blows.

 

JR: We prefer to remember Vin for this one:

 

You mean, he's the Keith Jackson of baseball.

 

So pull up a chair for Vin's 61st season of Dodger baseball, brought to you by Farmer John.

 

My personal favorite: "29,000 people and a million butterflies."

Davis drew the most overlooked walk in baseball history.

You talk about a roll of the dice...

 

Nothing better on a summer night than to check the onscreen guide and see that Rogers Sportsnet Pacific is showing a Dodgers game. We get the Angels and Mariners on there too and while I will watch those games, I don't pay a lot of attenmtion to who is calling them. Dodger games - and we always get the LA feed - are a whole different story.
