Any way to get him to call the World Series instead of Joe Buck?

I remember watching Brooklyn Dodger games on channel 9

with Red Barber, Vin Scully and Connie Desmond doing the announcing.

am a Dodgers fan, but even if you're not, he is an absolute icon.

I seem to be the one guy who doesn't much care for Scully's work.

But I'm glad he's still working.

I don't watch baseball

but used to a long time ago. This guy has such a smooth delivery. I hope he goes for another 67 years.

not a Dodgers fan

He is the voice of baseball.

I wonder if in 30-40 years if there are any current announcers people will look back on as fondly as guys like Scully, Gowdy, Mel Allen.

Met Vince Scully in a hotel lobby years ago

He sat down with me and had a conversation . One the the nicest people you could ever meet. About 36 years ago and I remember thinking then that he will probably retire soon. He just keeps going.
