Legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully spoke to the media for the final time prior to Saturday's game between the Colorado Rockies and the Dodgers.
Scully ends his 67 year career as the voice of the Dodgers when the regular season ends on October 2nd in San Francisco against the Giants.
This is his entire press conference. Trip-pods were not allowed so bear with me on some of the video.

Vin Scully is God's greatest gift to sports broadcasting. Arguably, at the height of his popularity in the 80s when he was also the main baseball announcer for NBC, I was producing a local radio sports call-in show and tracked Vin down to the Dodger's road hotel in Atlanta to see if he'd be a phone guest on our sports talk show at some point. He answered on the bathroom phone while taking a shower --- he thought I was his son who he was expecting to call. I was young --- he could tell. He was extremely nice and asked if I could give him 20 minutes and call back. He did the show the next week...on the phone for at least 30 minutes taking calls from listeners, etc. All the people I "tracked down" over the years were not always nice. None were nicer to me than Mr. Scully who was at the top of his profession at a time when Pat Summerall, Keith Jackson, Dick Enberg were at the top of the heap. The ultimate class act and the very best baseball broadcaster who has ever lived.

How can anyone forget Vin's classic play-by-play at the trainwreck in NY when Boston's Don Buckner bobbled the ball that gave the Mets the win in 1984? Easily one of the top 10 broadcasts in sports history.

@@johnnada586 ​ No difference. The other guys were on the same level in my estimation of it 4 years ago and now. We interviewed the other 3 as well. Summerall and Keith Jackson more than once. Jim McKay too. They were all great. All understood what it meant to help out a young guy coming up in a middle market as they had reached the pinnacle. A half dozen others who were just below them in success, I guess you could say, were not as friendly off the air. There must be some correlation

When asked if people will miss him, Vinny replied, "They're going to miss me for a little while ... I'll give them a year, and a year from now, younger people will say, 'Who is Vin Scully', and that's ok, I don't mind that at all". Boy was he wrong! 6 years later, and everybody knows who you are, and has missed your mark on the game, and will continue to do so. Thanks God for KZfaq, and video recordings. RIP Vinny!

At the time in 1986 Vin was 57 years old and who would have thought he would still be broadcasting 30 years later. Thanks for the memories Vin in not only MLB but the NFL as well🙏❤️

I can remember the first time I heard Vin Scully's voice it was 3/31/98 and it was on TV but not in the way you might think it was in a video game didn't think much of it other than nice voice (his video game commentary was very basic until his last appearance in 05 it became a little more in-depth) and I said to myself I got to hear this guy more so I ordered the MLB extra innings package and from the first live broadcast I heard I was hooked and every year since I've ordered either MLB.tv or MLB extra innings his descriptive ability is one-of-a-kind (as a legally blind man I felt like I was in the seats at dodger Stadium) i've lost count of how many nights in the last 10 years or so I could put a Dodgers game on my computer turn the monitor off and still feel like I was watching every second of it here in Massachusetts he has made for a lot of late nights for me but I wouldn't have it any other way it is very sad that he's retiring but I wish him nothing but the best love that man

The one disagreement I have with Vin is that bringing a transistor radio to the game was indeed a tribute to Vin. My first Dodgers game was in 1966 when I was 5 years old and my Dad & Uncle took me to see Koufax pitch (their way of babysitting). I noticed everybody had a transistor radio including my Dad & Uncle. I asked my Dad why everybody had a radio and he said: “So we can hear Vin Scully paint pictures with words that are better than what we can see with our eyes.”

one of the greatest, arguably the greatest, i hate it when people like vin "thank god" for their accomplishments, it cheapens their talent and commitment to something that was simply handed to them, in vin's case i don't think he's really that religious, i think it's just his way of being humble, of course he could have just said he's been incredibly lucky or very fortunate, but an invisible deity chose him? please, take credit for what you accomplished vin, you can afford it for all you've done for the game. of course, i'm pretty sure the game and people like me will always love the way you put the fan and the game ahead of your own accolades and simply gave us your vast knowledge of the game. a real class act and the game is better because of people like you.

I am a non-religious person also. Normally, when people cite God as their "leading light" I can smell hypocrisy from a mile away. But, of course, Vin was just as genuine with his relationship with the Catholic faith as he was with everything else in his life. If all Christians were exactly like Vin, heck, I'd probably be one too!

Joe Davis is replacing Vin??? The only one suited for that role was Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday with Kevin Kennedy taking over the radio. Vin is the voice of the Dodgers and Charlie is the radio voice of the dodgers. What a terrible mistake this organization has made. Not only did they ruin is for us with the Time Warner contract, but now they hire someone who, in my opinion, isn't the suitable choice.

If there were ever a time to let patience and optimism win out over pessimism and criticism, it's now. Here's a young man who is working hard trying to make his way in broadcasting and has now been offered his dream job. Sound familiar? Steiner and Monday and their decades of experience between them will now be the old hands in the booth, and Davis will be the "kid." Davis has a vastly different style than Vin, but who doesn't? He also belongs to the new generation of broadcaster, which is also vastly different not just than Vin's generation but than Monday's and Steiners, which makes sense because Davis isn't even 30 years old yet. Who knows how it will work out, but just imagine if no one had given young Vin Scully his chance to sit in the booth with one of the all-time greats and try his hand at it.

even though it was different ownership, I’ll never forgive the fact that Ross Porter got thrown out on his ass in the middle of the night after looong time loyalty in 2004. Steiner is well and good but he’s a bore, Porter had a unique voice despite being critiqued for giving out too many statistical facts, which if you look at today’s game decades later- it’s all based on spewing irrelevant statistics
