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.

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.

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

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.

That is the way this game is -- you win, you lose, you celebrate and you suffer.

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.

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.
