He was born in The Bronx and cut his broadcasting teeth in Los Angeles. Vin Scully was the master voice of Major League Baseball.

Vincent Edward Scully was a retired American sportscaster. He was best known for his 67 seasons calling games for Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers, beginning in 1950 and ending in 2016.

Baseball fanatics who went to the ballpark would take their transistor radios with them to hear Vin explain to them what they were watching and what was happening on the field.
