In Memoriam: Vin Scully

Chances are if one were to poll SABR members about the greatest left-hander in the history of the Dodgers franchise, the most frequent response might be Sandy Koufax or Clayton Kershaw. But they would be incorrect. Without a doubt, the honor of greatest southpaw in organizational history belongs to Vincent Edward Scully, the legendary broadcaster who died at the age of 94 on Tuesday, August 2.

The principal announcer, the team’s “voice,’’ is the embodiment of the link between the team and its loyal fans. No one is a better illustration of that nexus than the Dodgers’ Vin Scully, whose professional work for the organization spanned two coasts and sixty-seven consecutive years. Scully’s remarkable career with the Dodgers began in 1950, eight years before the team pulled up stakes in Brooklyn and headed west. No one called the play-by-play for one team longer.

Scully’s constant presence in the tapestry of Dodgers baseball history extends into the various eras and themes that run through its history. Scully was there to call each season from the 1950s Boys of Summer, the Koufax-Drysdale era of the 1960s, the team’s record-setting infield of the 1970s, Fernando-mania and Kirk Gibson’s iconic home run in the 1980s, and on into the 21st century until his retirement after the 2016 season.

Scully’s signature was an easy-going, golden-throated delivery, displaying a great command of the English language, deployed in a manner that has been called nothing short of an art form.
