Vin Scully made the call for Dodger baseball

(News4usonline) - The closest thing I had growing up to being present at Los Angeles Dodgers games was listening to Vin Scully. Scully would call the games so artistically that I could envision every moment that was happening. I was always there. It did not matter that I was somewhere curled up next to my radio in my Long Beach, California, home with my 10 brothers and sisters. When I would hear Scully shout out his famous anthem, "It's time for Dodger baseball!" that was it for me. I would zone out in my youthful imagination and pretend that I was at the ballpark. I was there because Scully put me there. Embed from Getty Images I was somewhere down the third base line sitting in the reserve seat section, watching my childhood heroes Steve Garvey, Bill Russell, Dusty Baker, Reggie Smith, Ron Cey, Davey Lopes, and Don Sutton work their Dodger Blue magic. Most of the time they did. Sometimes they didn't. But when Scully was at the mike calling the games, whether the Dodgers won or lost, it was always an interesting wordsmith journey.

Mayor Garcetti welcomes Vin Scully to the platform at the Vin Scully Appreciation Game at Dodger Stadium on Sept.23, 2016. Photo courtesy of Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti I don't recall every game that Scully called that I listened to, but there are some I do remember. I remember when the New York Mets came to town with their hot rookie pitcher Dwight "Doc" Gooden. If I am not mistaken, the Dodgers had loaded the bases against Gooden in the first inning with no out. Gooden then proceeded to strike out of the side to get out of the inning, finishing off his sensation takedown by what Scully describes as a "Lord Charles" curveball. It was Scully's voice I listened to as the 1977 Dodgers attempted to be the first team in Major League Baseball history to have four players on the same team hit 30 or more home runs in a single season. For Dusty Baker (now manager of the Houston Astros) and the Dodgers, that opportunity would come on the last day of the regular season. And it would have to come against the Astros' J.R. Richards, one of the most feared pitchers in all of baseball. Steve Garvey (33), Reggie Smith (32), and Ron Cey (30) had already reached that mark. Baker, sitting on 29 home runs, had not. It seemed everyone was on pins and needles, wondering if Baker would be able to circle the bases before the end of the regular season. Embed from Getty Images Listening to Scully, the drama was super thick as Baker got into the batter's box in what would be his last at-bat for the season. In the lead-up to the moment that Baker actually connected for his 30th home run, Scully painted a vivid detail of the melodrama surrounding Richard's pitch count and the scene of anticipation. At one point, all the dramatics became a bit unnerving for me, and I thought about turning the radio off. But I stayed and listened. I am glad I did as I was able to hear Scully make the call on the Dodgers' big moment when Baker homered. Speaking of moments, there probably aren't too many in Dodgers' history that'll outshine what Kirk Gibson did at the plate against Dennis Eckersley of the Oakland A's in the 1988 World Series. Gibson's ultra-dramatic walk-off, two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 1, secured a 5-4 win for the Dodgers, who would then go on and win the World Series that year. And you know who made the call. Scully gave the Gibson moment the Mount Rushmore of calls. "High fly ball into right field. She is ... gone! In a year that has been improbable, the impossible has happened," quipped Scully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeGFSEIONyA My mother used to tell me you never know who's watching you. Well, along those lines, I was not afforded the opportunity to watch Scully, but I listened. I paid attention to how well he was able to disseminate all of this game information he had deposited into simple layman's terminology for the average baseball fan to understand. In this case, it was a teenage kid trying to find his lot in life. I never knew Scully personally. His impact on my life, however, goes well beyond Dodger Stadium. Listening to Scully on the radio drove me to study words more and get their meaning. I started reading encyclopedias to improve my mastery of language and words. In an indirect way, I am a professional journalist today all because a gentleman with a microphone had the audacity to bring a glimmer of hope and sunshine to us all through the storytelling of a baseball game. "I’ve always tried to make the players human beings – individuals – rather than wind-up dolls down on the field running around. So I’ve always searched for the human side of the game, if I can possibly find it. That’s the character that I try to paint, the character that the man represents himself. I think that helps, especially when a team is struggling and you have something interesting to say about someone. I think on the other end, a listener might enjoy it," Scully once said. Some of my fondest memories growing up were spent listening to Dodgers games. That's because Scully just had this way with words that always intrigued me. I was fascinated by his gift of gab. The more I listened to Scully, the more I became more drawn to his wonderous word vocabulary. Scully was a master of words. He could create theater just by the words that came out of his mouth. No one could articulate the flair for the dramatic the way that Scully was able to do it. He just didn't call a game. He brought the game to you. Scully made you feel like you were his neighbor or someone you'd meet at church. He made you feel being in the Dodger family was a natural inheritance for local Angelenos. Embed from Getty Images “Vin Scully was bigger than baseball," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a released statement. "He was the soul of Los Angeles, the undisputed voice of America’s pastime, and the narrator of some of the most thrilling moments of our lives. It is impossible to think about the Dodgers without reflecting on Vin’s incomparable way with words and the boundless wisdom he shared with generations of fans around the world." Growing up, my brothers and I were always going to our rooms and tuning in to the Dodgers station listening to the radio. God gave Scully the voice he made famous by calling Dodgers games. That voice is now still with Scully's transition to the heavens. Scully had long stopped calling games as he quietly walked into retirement. His voice, however, will always be with us. “We have lost an icon,” said Dodger President & CEO Stan Kasten. “The Dodgers Vin Scully was one of the greatest voices in all of sports. He was a giant of a man, not only as a broadcaster but as a humanitarian. He loved people. He loved life. He loved baseball and the Dodgers. And he loved his family. His voice will always be heard and etched in all of our minds forever. I know he was looking forward to joining the love of his life, Sandi. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very difficult time." Featured Image: Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti with Vin Scully on Sept. 23, 2016.

Famous Los Angeles Dodgers baseball commentator, Vin Scully

Vin Scully, the famous 94-year-old Los Angeles Dodger broadcaster, dies Enlarge this image to the legend Associated Press Press Associated PressLOS ANGELES — S' there is a synonym Dodgers, that name is n' is not a player, manager or official d' team. He spent more time with a team than anyone else announcing the history of sport before retiring after the 2016 season; his death was announced by the Dodgers in a tweet. This is not only the longevity that made Scully great. His talent for establishing a personal relationship with listeners. It was there from the beginning. Listen, I'll tell you what. Just call-her. There &apos is a comfort zone. Said the sound of Scully &'s voice was bewitching. San Diego. Harry How / Getty Images Harry How / Getty was as much a part of the team as the players on the pitch. You can listen to Vin Scully call a baseball game and you don't have to watch the game because it paints a better picture than what television could ever paint. But it is handed over to them. From baseball, from Shakespeare, from everything that intrigued him. There were many great moments in his career. Here is the pitch. Line drive in deep centerfield. And then Scully said exactly what that home means, what a wonderful time for baseball. A standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking the record of d' a basic idol of all time-ball. She... her. He got the famous call from the 1986 Red Sox game in which Bill Buckner left a ball on the ground in his legs at first base Little roller first, behind the bag. Vincent Edward Scully was born in 1927 in the Bronx. Scully moved to the west coast with the Dodgers in 1958. God may have been saying yes, but Scully was happy to do it. But I am honestly happy and deeply grateful that finally he decided that the age l&apos had caught up. Before the home finals, the team held a moving ceremony at Dodger Stadium. With his humour under @ @, he answered the question: What are you going to do now? Vin Scully once said that one player was injured and that he had put, from the day-to the day @ @-.

Once upon a time, I photographed a lot of soccer. I only ever got the chance to photograph one baseball game, and truth be told, my photos weren’t that great. But knowing #vinscully was there, getting to visit the press box that bears his name, and knowing he was calling the game… I still feel awestruck knowing I got that chance. Thank you, Vin. #dodgers Photo description: a side view of a batter for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a crisp, white uniform swings at a pitch while another batter stands on deck in the background.

Check out my high school yearbook and you’ll find that the profession I wished to pursue was to become a @Mets broadcaster. Well, I never got there, but those wishes and dreams were embedded in my brain by the likes of the #Mets #BobMurphy, the legendary #HowardCosell and, of course, the greatest #baseball announcer ever, @TheVinScully. The news of Vin’s passing last night came for me, aptly enough, after I had attended a ballgame. Normally in a situation like that, as I faced an hour drive home and Vin was still in the @Dodgers booth, I would stream the games from the West Coast specifically to hear his first three innings — guiding the car home in pure baseball nirvana. #VinScully was a virtuoso of voice, a Michelangelo of the mic, a Botticelli of the broadcast booth, a Picasso of play-by-play. Falling in love with baseball was as easy as listening to Vin call a game. Of course, after 67 years of Brooklyn and LA games, he was a #Dodger through and through. And on whatever cosmic plane Vin exists now, I’m sure, “It’s time for Dodger baseball” forever. But as a Mets fan, we have our own specific Vin Scully memories. Vin and #JoeGaragiola called the entire 1986 #WorldSeries on @NBC and his Game 6 call in particular, regarding one of the most famous plays in World Series history (Mookie/Buckner), has been on repeat in my head since it happened. Thank you, Vin. ⚾️🎙🐐 (at Rockaway, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg0OG5jMSjR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened.” ——— Vin Scully ————————— Never thought this one would hurt so bad. He has been one of those voices that has been in my minds my whole life. From watching games on a Tube TV that had 4 channels , radio playing in the back ground , falling asleep at night . Almost like a grandfather that was always there at a distance. So much joy and emotions from his words. Tough one to see go but I am grateful to have lived on this earth while he did and experience the very unique experience he brought to this world. I am happy for him that he is back with his wife. @thevinscully @dodgers #vinscully #longlive (at Dodger Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzbWy9r-5_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
