I am a Yankee fan from Connecticut, but after I moved out West I spent countless nights in front of the TV listening to Scully's voice. When I attended the occasional game, people were still listening to their radios inside the stadium.
“No announcer in the history of sports has used crowd noise more musically than Scully”
When you look at the Greatest Results from your survey you’ll see a name you don’t recognise ‘Richie Benaud’ (and I’m right) now comparisons are never exact but from reading that I know he has that in common with Vin Scully, only for cricket, no commentator ever used the pregnant pause better than Benaud either, whether for crowd noise or for humour
I remember when Vin Scully was doing the NBC Major League Baseball Game of the Week with Joe Garigiola. The music of him calling, "It's deuces wild, two on, two out, 2 and 2 on the batter." John Keats had nothing on Vin Scully.
I’m sorry but this is freaky, I mention Richie Benaud below and if you mention his name to anyone in Australia there’s a 50% chance they’ll reply with 2 for 2 2 2 (he had this weird way of pronouncing twos is why, but wild)
Joe, please consider writing a biography on Vin!
I would predict this: Best Seller!!!
