So Vin Scully, the great iconic sportscaster, passed away at age of 94 yesterday. Here in SoCal, lots of tributes are being aired to him... too many stories to tell. For 67 years, he was the voice of the Dodgers (1950-2016)... longer than any other sportscaster for any one team in any sport in the world.
On the Roger Lodge sports show this afternoon on AM radio, Roger aired an interview he did with Vin Scully 10 or 12 years ago before an Angels-Dodgers game. Vin was talking about what excited him about sports growing up as a young child in NYC... it was the roar of the crowd. And he mentioned that when he was 7 or 8 (born in 1927), he would listen on his radio to college football and hear the roar of the crowd... in the Tennessee-Alabama game...
RIP Vin Scully... you were a great one.
