More quotes by Vin Scully
I guess my thermometer for my baseball fever is still a goose bump.
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
How good was Stan Musial? He was good enough to take your breath away.
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
I've always felt that I was talking to one person. But I've never envisioned who that one person is.
Vin Scully
I love baseball and I don't want to be part of anything that would cheapen it or vulgarize it.

Vin Scully
He (Bob Gibson) pitches as though he's double-parked.
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.

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 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.
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
Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination.
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 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
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.
