The death of Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully saddened many of us, even though we knew a 94-year-old wasn’t going to last forever, writes Jensen.
In this July 3, 2002, photo, Los Angeles Dodgers television play-by-play announcer Vin Scully rehearses before a baseball game between the Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix.The death of Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully saddened many of us, even though we knew a 94-year-old wasn’t going to last forever.
I remember hearing Vin describe the first game played at Dodger Stadium, in April 1962. You don’t walk to Chavez Ravine, and thousands of cars converged for the event of the year. With his work in that game, Vin could have been elected to the Traffic Hall of Fame. From 1962 until his early retirement in 1966, Sandy dominated baseball, all reported by Vin. Occasionally Vin would tell us that Sandy wasn’t sharp, which seemed to mean that Sandy would give up five hits, say, and a couple of runs, but still finish — and win — the game.
All series games were played during the day, which meant that weekday games on the east coast were usually over before Utah school kids got home. But baseball wassport, and my sixth-grade teacher would let one of us listen to the game and report to the class as developments warranted. This was history in the making, after all, even without Vin on the radio broadcast.
