Which is more amazing?
The fans went nuts and have a standing ovation. To an announcer.
66 years with one company
The fact that his age he is still by far the best in the business
Every mets dodgers game I always make sure to listen to the dodger feed. Sculls is truly amazing to listen to. If you haven't watched a full dodger broadcast and are a baseball fan - you are doling yourself a disservice not watching ASAP.
Years ago in a small hotel here in Orange County . Just about the nicest man you could imagine. Used to have Chick Hearn sit at my bar in Laguna many years ago as well. Another sports icon in LA. He was the same kind of guy. Both came across as salt of the earth. Scully may go till he's 90.
meh...Skully is nothing compared to John Sterling Â
1. The team played its home games at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. The Dodgers moved to Los Angeles following the 1957 season, and Scully accompanied the team west.
2. Jackie Robinson was three years removed from breaking baseball’s color barrier.
3. Baseball legends Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays hadn’t debuted in the majors. That would occur in 1951.
4. Joe Paterno was months away from making his coaching debut at Penn State. Paterno served as the team’s assistant coach until 1965 and head coach from 1966 until 2011.
5. Harry S. Truman was president.
6. Current President Barack Obama wasn’t alive.
7. Twelve different U.S. presidents have served during Scully’s tenure broadcasting with the Dodgers.
8. Twenty-four current members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame hadn’t been born:
9. Newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst was still alive. So was Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, impressionist painter Henri Matisse and physicist Albert Einstein.
10. Transcontinental television broadcasts were one year away.
11. The most popular song in the country was “If I Knew You Were Comin’ I’d’ve Baked a Cake,” by Eileen Barton.
12. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jim Konstanty was the National League’s Most Valuable Player that season.
13. Twelve Major League Baseball teams had yet to integrate -- with the last of those teams, the Boston Red Sox, integrating in 1959.
14. Crooner Tony Bennett hadn’t recorded his first major hit song.
15. The animated film “Cinderella” was in movie theaters.
