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
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
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
He (Bob Gibson) pitches as though he's double-parked.
Vin Scully
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 charm about baseball is everyone has played it in some form. Everyone relates to it.
