Dodgers: Vin Scully’s best calls and moments

The voice of baseball, Vin Scully, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 94. Here are some of his best moments and calls in baseball.

The voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the voice of baseball, Vin Scully, passed away at the age of 94 on Tuesday afternoon.

He was the voice of the Dodgers from 1950 through 2016 but he was even more than that. For millions, he was the voice of baseball and even the voice of sports.

He was the voice of NBC’s Game of the Week from 1983 through 1989. He did games on CBS Radio and he even did other sports. He did NFL games and golf matches on CBS from 1975 through 1982. Among other moments, he called “The Catch” on CBS in the 1981 NFC Championship Game that clinched a Super Bowl berth for the San Francisco 49ers.

But he always returned to baseball and was there for huge moments. Scully called 24 World Series, including 11 on TV. He called 18 no-hitters, three perfect games (including the only perfect game in the World Series to date), Hank Aaron’s record-breaking home run, and many more iconic moments.

There will never be another Vin Scully in baseball or sports broadcasting, for that matter. His longevity and his storytelling skills (and his perfect timing with them) will go unmatched.

Below we have some of his best calls and best moments in baseball. For some of them, the full game is on YouTube. We have the crescendo of those games queued but you can watch the entire game where it’s noted.

There are also dozens of his old regular season games available on YouTube across multiple channels. There, you can see how Scully was a master at his craft, even though it might be a normal regular season game in August in the late 1950s. Some of them even have the original commercials and advertisers in them.

So let’s take a walk down memory lane with some of his best moments and calls.
