More quotes by Vin Scully
I love baseball and I don't want to be part of anything that would cheapen it or vulgarize it.
Vin Scully
The ability to throw 100 mph cannot be taught, cannot be learned, it can only be God-given.
Vin Scully
I would say realistically, and I don't want any headlines, but I would say realistically that next year would be the last year.
Vin Scully
That is the way this game is -- you win, you lose, you celebrate and you suffer.

I was saying on the air: Victorino used the Twitter and he sent a twit to tell the fans he was coming. Well, the city went hysterical. The sky nearly fell down from laughter. I always thought that if you are going to use Twitter, it's going to be a twit. Why would it be a tweet?
Vin Scully
I don't watch teams other than Dodgers on TV and I watch the Dodgers games sparingly. I like to refresh my mind at night, so I like to read. For me, watching baseball at night, it would be like an insurance man reading actuary tables. I like to escape.

There's that old saying: Squeeze the juice out of life before life squeezes the juice out of you. I will try to squeeze the remaining juice out of life.
Vin Scully
The roar of the crowd has always been the sweetest music. It's intoxicating.

All my life I've worked and I was so lucky to go from a radio station in Washington to the Dodgers and of course, it never stopped.

Vin Scully
Andre Dawson has a bruised knee and is listed as day-to-day. Aren't we all?
Vin Scully
Some people die twice: once when they retire, and again when they actually pass away. Fear of the first one is a big incentive for me to keep working.
Vin Scully
I have to go over my carefully prepared ad-libs.
Vin Scully
Good is not good when better is expected.
Vin Scully
When I was very small, maybe 8 years old, we had a big radio that stood on four legs, and it had a cross piece underneath it, and I used to take a pillow and crawl under the radio.
Vin Scully
I've always felt, it's a gift of God, whatever I have, whatever has made me do what I do for as long as I do it. But I know I can lose that in one second. A stroke. Whatever. One second. Blow the whole thing. So, when you do think about that, you realize how fortunate and how blessed you've been, and that's really how I feel.
Vin Scully
He (Bob Gibson) pitches as though he's double-parked.
Vin Scully
Naturally there will come a time, when I will have to say goodbye, but I've soul-searched and this is not the time.
Vin Scully
I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things.
Vin Scully
I would always say to kids, don't be afraid to dream, because it can happen.
Vin Scully
It's a mere moment in a man's life between an All-Star game and an old-timer's game.
