vin scully

Suzyn Waldman should also be on that list.

 

We rarely get Dodger games on the sports channels up here and when we do it's almost always the visiting team feed. But I love listening to Scully when I am in Cali.

Yeah he may have lost a step but it's a step most guys never had to begin with.

 

Smasher, it's the same thing every other broadcaster in the majors does. And it's no surprise he has a massive ego, I'd be stunned if he didn't.

 

Well, she is in a rare class of broadcasters, all right.

 

This. I liked Harry and Skip, who were both entertaining in their own ways, but Vin has always been the class of the genre. If Chip Caray's name was something else, he'd be somewhere else.

 

Maybe I was off a bit, but he didn't sound half as geezer as That Dinosaur Gasbag Lou Holtz.

It's true that Vin Scully is one of the all-time greats, but Jack Buck, Ernie Harwell and a few others rank right there with him. It's not a table for one.

 

The biggest difference, of course, being that Scully is not dead at the present time.

 

That does not change the eligibility requirements. The operative phrase is "all-time."

 

. . . only in that she's theoretically-eligible for sainthood for enduring all the shit and patronization heaped upon her by the King of All Jerkoffs.

 

Denny Matthews should also have a seat at the table of greats.
