The Voice of the Dodgers
Listening to Sports Center on ESPN this AM, and heard again the voice I have heard most of my life...Vince Scully, announcing the newest Dodger's first Dodger Home Run...Since I used to listen to Dodger games, while they were still in Brooklyn, my ears perk up when I hear that voice. Amazing that even at 84 +, his enthusiasm for the game remains.
I was never a Mel Barber fan, and was glad when he left the Dodgers for the hated Yankees. Then I could boo his calls! But he did recognized Scully's talents, and, as I recall the story, fought hard for Vince to join him with the Dodgers, and then to replace him. Used to use that example on several professional occasions, when I was asked to help recruit my own replacement.
