Description:
Amazingly, this is the first biography of Vin Scully, one of the most recognizable voices in the history of sports broadcasting, and it is filled with all the humor, wit, intelligence, and insight of one of his broadcasts. While he has dabbled in tennis, golf, and football, Scully is best known as the voice of baseball`s Los Angeles Dodgers, though he has been with the team since they were in Brooklyn. In more than a half century of calling some of baseball`s biggest games, including Don Larsen`s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Hank Aaron`s 715th home run, Bill Buckner`s error in the 1986 World Series, and Kirk Gibson`s unbelievable blast in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series ("The impossible has happened!"), Scully has amassed an endless supply of diamond anecdotes, which are recalled here with his trademark class and candor . Quite simply, he is the best at what he does, and this is a must-read for every baseball fan.
