Vin Scully, legendary Dodgers broadcaster, dies at 94

Legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully died Tuesday at the age of 94. Scully joined the Brooklyn Dodgers’ radio and television booths in 1950 and followed the team to Los Angeles in 1958. He retired in 2016 after 67 seasons calling games for the franchise, the longest tenure of any broadcaster with a single team in professional sports history.

Scully was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982 and National Radio Hall of Fame in 1995.

His most famous calls include Don Larsen’s perfect game in 1956, Sandy Koufax’s perfect game in 1965, Hank Aaron’s 715th home run to break Babe Ruth’s record in 1974, Bill Buckner’s error against the Mets in the 1986 World Series and Kirk Gibson’s pinch-hit, walk-off home run off Dennis Eckersley in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.
