I guess my thermometer for my baseball fever is still a goose bump.
Vin Scully
The roar of the crowd has always been the sweetest music. It's intoxicating.
Vin Scully
Good is not good when better is expected.
Vin Scully
I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things. The only thing I hate - and I know you have to be realistic and pay the bills in this life - is the loneliness on the road.
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
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.

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 charm about baseball is everyone has played it in some form. Everyone relates to it.
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
In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened…
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
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
Clemente could field the ball in New York and throw out a guy in Pennsylvania.
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
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.
