Vin Scully is the Best of All-Time . . . Case Closed

220px-Scully_pub.jpgHere's a link to the blog of loyal WatchDog reader Rob Adams, yet another guy who knows more about sports media history than me.

He's compiled all three calls of Henry Aaron's 715th homer - from Curt Gowdy, the one the vast majority of Americans heard that night, plus Milo Hamilton, the most frequently replayed version, and that of Vin Scully, which naturally is the best.

I'll probably revisit this topic in my newspaper column Tuesday, but loyal blog readers can check this out now, four days early!

Do people actually read blogs on weekends, though? They seem to be designed primarily for goofing off at work. Not only for the people who read them, but for the people who write them. And I'm off today. I think.

Scully is the best sports broadcaster period, any sport, any time.

And now that I think about it, it may have been the worst thing about the Dodgers moving to LA, is that we have been deprived of the joy have being able to enjoy that career on an every day basis.

Vin is also a prime force behind the imposter organization on left coast using the name Dodgers recent push to get O'Malley into the Hall of Fame by pushing the garbage, and getting HBO to buy into it, that it was Robert Moses who was primarily responsible for the theft of the Brooklyn franchise from its true fans.

Scully has made it quite clear that his one remaining goal in life is to be there to present the HOF plaque to Peter O'Malley...let's hope that day never comes.

Scully is truly the best baseball broadcaster bar none.

Jeff, Give it up.
As Paul and Ken says Scully is by far the best broadcaster in the game. even now at age 80+ he is great. My Dad used to tell me about him and when I moved to East Central Florida i got to hear him Do Dodger games at a Vero Beach Radio station before he came on the NBC.
My gosh now picture this.
Chris Berman calling Bonds 756 or Chris Berman calling anything. That is what is meant going from "FIRST TO WORST"

Give up what? Is Scully a great great broadcaster? Absotively. I don't question that...I do question the other thing.

I saw the HBO special and I don't think it absolved O'Malley, but I had no idea about Moses. I know in the end, if he wanted to stay no matter what, he could have. And I would expect him to push for his boss of almost 50 years. Whether I agree or not. My old man (a Dodger fan) said Queens would have been better than LA. Which I also understand.
