5 Classic Photos Of The Great Vin Scully
By Adam W. Bloom
As a native Los Angelino, I had the incredible good fortune to grow up listening to Vin Scully call Dodger games. I have argued with many that he is the very best baseball broadcaster of all time. Of course my bias stems from Vin's ability to take me back to my youth – playing baseball in the street while listening to him call games on our portable boom box. Vin has a voice that can only be described as a perfect Sunday afternoon. As we celebrate his decision to return to calling games next year, his 66th season doing so, we look back at some of the classic photos of this living legend…
