More quotes by 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
Andre Dawson has a bruised knee and is listed as day-to-day. Aren't we all?
Vin Scully
It's a mere moment in a man's life between an All-Star game and an old-timer's game.
Vin Scully
I would always say to kids, don't be afraid to dream, because it can happen.
Vin Scully
It is kind of lovely to be sitting alone, just thinking, very quiet, no one around. I don't feel alone or left out.
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.

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've always felt that I was talking to one person. But I've never envisioned who that one person is.

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
Good is not good when better is expected.
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
Naturally there will come a time, when I will have to say goodbye, but I've soul-searched and this is not the time.

In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened…

He (Bob Gibson) pitches as though he's double-parked.
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 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
Losing feels worse than winning feels good.
Vin Scully
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!

I love baseball and I don't want to be part of anything that would cheapen it or vulgarize it.
