The Voice of the Game

Vin Scully
Unlike any other sport, baseball has a connection to the people that cover the game. Vin Scully has had that job longer than any other announcer. He’s entering his 62nd year and shows no signs of slowing down. He’s had the opportunity to witness more history than any other announcer. In this GQ profile, Scully recalls some of his most vivid memories and demonstrates why he is one the greatest announcers the game has ever known.

Fantastic. Loved listening to those calls. We are all fortunate to have heard Vin Scully, and that’s from a Reds fan who hates the Dodgers thanks to the old NL West battles.
