More quotes by 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.

We survive our way through basketball hoping the # Lakers will survive and we hope for the # Kings and for the # Ducks and we want them all to succeed but if you are a true fan and especially if you are a # Dodgers fan deep down inside you are saying please get out of the way, get off the stage, here come the DODGERS!

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 only difference between a winning team and a losing team is one game. The winning team can win two out of three games...the losing team can only win one out of three.
Vin Scully
It's a wonderful feeling to be a bridge to the past and to unite generations. The sport of baseball does that, and I am just a part of it.
Vin Scully
That is the way this game is -- you win, you lose, you celebrate and you suffer.
Vin Scully
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. For me to suddenly put the key in the ignition and turn the engine off, it's kind of a frightening thought. I put the key in and left it there, God willing, for another year.
Vin Scully
I've always felt that I was talking to one person. But I've never envisioned who that one person is.
Vin Scully
It's easier to pick off a fast runner than to pick off a lazy runner.
Vin Scully
I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things.
Vin Scully
I guess my thermometer for my baseball fever is still a goose bump.
