Talk:Vin Scully

message: I was watching a documentary on John McKay (football coach) that had interviews recorded before his death; when talking about long-time USC announcer Tom Kelly, he mentioned that Kelly replaced Scully as the USC game radio announcer.  Anyone else have information on this?  It would've likely been the 60s or early 70s.  --Bobak 22:57, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He did for awhile. That goes back aways. The bad thing about radio is that not much is recorded on paper about announcers other than maybe a quick byline in one or two newsarticle, bios, etc. Scully has been a jack-of-all trades, announcing wise. Ronbo76 14:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Did Scully announce USC football games in the '60s? 

message: Would any of his calls in that back-to-back-to-back-to-back homerun game qualify. I thought he had two good liners in there (One when Nomar wins it And a high fly ball to left field, it is a way out and gone! The Dodgers win it 11-10! *chuckles* Unbelievable!. And then after the celebration, as the broadcast is ending he says- in classic Scully fashion- "Oh, and did I forget to mention- the Dodgers are now leading the NL West" (or something to that effect). --Seventy-one 07:26, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I like the way you did it. If only there were another article for it, then the summary wouldn't be as long as it is. But its well done. Some user may come by and change the style in which you summarized the situation. But, I don't care either way.--Seventy-one 23:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I just looked at it again, I still think I need to figure out a way to make it more brief, and I still don't see how... ;) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 00:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scully Memorable Calls 

message: Scully also called the NLDS game 1 & 2 in 2006 played in Shea Stadium on radio. This is another example of his calling the game played east of Rockies recent days. You can find the evidence in http//www.worldseries.com and in Dodgers vs. Mets NLDS section. 128.97.206.102 21:41, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent Calls east of the Rockies 

message: No NPOV here.  I love Vin, but this article is more of a hagiography than something which would appear in an encyclopedia.  68.101.130.214 07:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  NPOV? - Ha! 

message: It is important to include in this article Vin Scully's intention to retire from the broadcasting booth after the 2010 Dodger Season. Scully has been the Dodgers broadcaster for 60 years, and it is imperative to note his planned retirement before it actually occurs. Sports enthusiasts nationwide and Dodger fans especially should know of this detail in order to adequately appreciate such a timeless voice while it is still in practice. Furthermore, when Scully retires, it will mark the end of the longest broadcasting career in sports history for a single team. The coming end of the Scully era is monumental with respect to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League Baseball as a whole, and is less than 15 months away. Scully's Wikepedia definitely should include this fact. http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jul/29/sports/sp-plaschke29

thread_title:  Scully To Retire After 2010 Dodgers Season  

message: Denver being east of the Rockies -- slightly -- I took the liberty of editing the main article to reflect that -- with a few exceptions -- Vin does not travel east of Denver (rather than "east of the Rockies").
