Vin Scully to be back in 2015 & 2016

[Tony Cloninger]

On some other teams board a few people complained about him that he talked too much and they heard the information he stated before.

This is the 2nd game of the series...... and of course he repeats some things, because sometimes people do not listen to every game.

What they seemed to not understand was that Vin made his bones calling games on the radio, where you have to describe a lot of what is going on. Very detailed, like painting a portrait with your words about the action happening on the field. His method of describing what is going on is basically 2nd to nobody. Vin and Dick Enberg were always my favorites growing up. Ross Porter for the use of stats was 3rd.
I never got a chance to hear Hoyt and Marty and Joe in their prime.

The Dodgers barely broadcast 40 games....until the 70's and never a home game until well into the 90's, although the occasional game would be shown like in 1978 against the Reds....which was exciting to finally see.

I suspect he'll be doing games as one of those Futurama preserved head things.

He absolutely repeats the same information over and over in a series, but I really don't even care. As long as he is calling balls and strikes, he could read read 'War and Peace' in between pitches and it would still be great in my opinion.

He's awesome, great news.

His style can be parodied: "And now Jumbo Diaz, who was given that name by his grade school teacher because of the size of his ears ..."

But there's never been a more literate credit to the game. I still wish there was someone who was aspiring to that quality.

Best sports news I've heard all week.

Here's a good article about how he goes about preparing for the season. He started in Feb. Its no wonder how good he has been all of these years. Most sportcasters could take a few tips from him.

Here's to "Deuces wild here, 2 on, 2 out, and a 2-2 count". Love it everytime I hear it.

Always good news.

I grew up hating the Dodgers, as an old NL West rival, but I have always loved listening to Vin Scully. I could listen to the man call a Cub Scouts pinewood derby race for hours and be just as happy. For years, I've listened to him (over the Reds announcers) when the Dodgers play my team. He's the greatest baseball announcer of my lifetime (if not all-time), and as long as he can do the job I am glad he will be there.

Greatest call ever?

The media guide way, you don't get that when he announces vs the Padres/Giants/DBacks, mostly because he sees them a lot and has greater knowledge of their organization. Otherwise, it's a media guide reading. But even their radio guys do it, the other day the radio guys were reading off the places that the Reds had had spring training, which is a lot if you start in 1890, not many if you start in 1925
