The author of multiple books on baseball, its storied stadiums and legendary broadcasters,\u00a0recalls a baseball broadcasting legend.<\/h2>\n

Curt Smith is a senior lecturer in the Department of English<\/a> at the University of Rochester<\/a>. His 18 books include <\/em>Voices of The Game and <\/em>Pull Up a Chair: The Vin Scully Story. USA Today called him \u201cthe voice of authority on baseball broadcasting.\u201d Smith was also a speech writer for President George H.W. Bush, with whom he worked for 14 years.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

In 1945, journalist Edward R. Murrow said of World War II that Winston Churchill \u201chad mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.\u201d From 1950 to 2016, Vin Scully mobilized that language to reach a new peak of radio and television brilliance, daily asking us to \u201cPull up a chair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vin died on August 2 at 94, having announced the Brooklyn, then Los Angeles, Dodgers for 67 years\u2014the longest such broadcasting streak. For a time, fans knew Vin from a network World Series here, an All-Star Game there. Later, we listened to Scully on 1970s CBS Radio, the 1983\u201389 NBC TV Game of the Week<\/em>, then XM satellite radio. To paraphrase film\u2019s The Natural<\/em>, Scully was \u201cthe best there ever was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born in 1927 in Manhattan, Vin at age eight discovered a magic place beneath an Emerson radio \u201cthat sat so high off the ground that I was able to crawl under it,\u201d he told me in a 1986 conversation. Each Saturday, Vin put a pillow on its crosspiece and listened to college football broadcasts. “I shouldn’t have cared about a game like Florida-Tennessee,\u201d said Scully, \u201cbut I did, getting goose bumps from the roar of the crowd.\u201d He was hooked.<\/p>\n

After high school, Scully joined the Navy, then entered Fordham University, where a classmate recalled him as \u201ceverywhere, recording himself.\u201d At 21, he met famed Brooklyn baseball and CBS radio voice Red Barber, who hired him to call football and soon the Dodgers. In 1953, Barber left the team, and Scully replaced him\u2014at age 23!\u2014on World Series TV. Trying to \u201cplay it cool,\u201d Scully ate breakfast with his parents the day of the Series opener. \u201cThen I went upstairs and threw up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Ladies and gentlemen, the Brooklyn Dodgers are the champions of the world.\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 1955, Scully called Brooklyn\u2019s first World Series title after the team had lost six times to the Yankees: \u201cLadies and gentlemen, the Brooklyn Dodgers are the champions of the world.\u201d All winter, people asked how he stayed so calm. \u201cIf I had to say another word, I think I would have cried,\u201d Scully said.<\/p>\n

In Brooklyn, the Dodgers televised each game. In late 1957, moving them to Los Angeles, owner Walter O\u2019Malley banned TV broadcasts. Interest turned to radio, of which Scully was a wiz, the Fordham English major routinely coining phrases like \u201cit was so hot today the moon got sunburned\u201d and \u201che catches the ball gingerly, like a baby chick falling from the tree.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith radio, you come into the booth, bring your brushes and pallets, and you mix the paint and put things together.\u201d
\n\u2014Vin Scully<\/div>\n

While Dodger Stadium was being built, the club occupied huge Memorial Coliseum, with a capacity of more than 90,000. Thousands brought radios to a game, hearing Scully report <\/em>what they couldn\u2019t see<\/em>. One day in 1960, Scully noted that it was umpire Frank Secory\u2019s birthday. \u201cI\u2019ll count to three, and everybody yell \u2018Happy birthday, Frank!\u2019\u201d Scully told his listeners. He counted, and the crowd yelled, \u201cHappy birthday, Frank!\u201d Secory almost fainted.<\/p>\n

In the 1959 World Series, Scully and NBC reached a composite record 120 million of America\u2019s then-150 million people. In 1965, Vin described Sandy Koufax\u2019s perfect game\u2014all 27 batters retired without reaching base\u2014so flawlessly that a writer wrote, \u201cIt read like a short story\u201d composed not with a pen but on the air.<\/p>\n

Scully often likened play-by-play to starting each game with an empty canvas. \u201cWith radio, you come into the booth, bring your brushes and pallets, and you mix the paint and put things together,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd at the end of three hours, you say, \u2018Well, that\u2019s the best I can do today.\u2019 On TV, the picture\u2019s already there. So, what you\u2019re doing is shading.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the \u201970s Vin broadcast tennis, golf, and pro football for CBS. Increasingly, he also used silence<\/em> as a dramatic tool. In 1974, calling Henry Aaron\u2019s record-breaking 715th home run in Atlanta, Scully hushed for nearly half-a-minute, then said, \u201cA black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol\u201d\u2014majesty to match the moment.\u00a0 It became a trademark of his, especially in his time at NBC.<\/p>\n

Scully broadcast a nonpareil 25 Series; made every major radio\/TV Hall of Fame; received an Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award, Commissioner\u2019s Achievement Award, and Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; and was named \u201cmost memorable [Los Angeles Dodgers] franchise personality\u201d and in 2000, \u201cSportscaster of the Century\u201d by the American Sportscasters Association, which voted him \u201cTop Sportscaster of All Time\u201d in 2009.<\/p>\n

Scully brought eloquence, modesty, and literacy to each broadcast<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Scully eventually cut his Dodgers slate, still daily saying, \u201cHi, again, everyone, and a very pleasant good afternoon to you wherever you may be. It\u2019s time for Dodger baseball!\u201d In 2016, he ended his last game by telling the audience, \u201cI\u2019ll miss our time together more than I can say,\u201d the public feeling the same. Scully\u2019s death a year after his wife Sandra\u2019s in 2021 left 32 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren\u2014more than the combined starting lineup of three big-league clubs.<\/p>\n

In the end, what made Scully, Scully? Other sports carry the announcer. The announcer carries baseball. A three-hour game may see the ball in play 10 minutes. The Voice must navigate a sea of dead air, persona his paddle. Scully tied eloquence, modesty, literacy, a voice less rock \u2018n\u2019 roll than easy listening, and extempore <\/em>ability to haul a story from the shelf, likening statistics to a drunk \u201cusing a lamppost for support, not illumination.\u201d Hearing Vin was even better than being at the game.<\/p>\n
