They talk too much, they don't say enough and they think they are comedians. I pity that day when Scully decides to stop what he obviously loves doing.

I had nothing to compare him to. Then came Vinny. From then on (it must have been the mid 50's) to present day, I have never stopped learning about life, the game and the wonderful humor Vin Scully brings to the listeners every time he sits behind the mike. For this fan, the season doesn't start until the first time I hear his familiar voice welcoming me. Over the years Vin has been there for me and feels not unlike a member of our family. Happy Birthday, Vinny! Somewhere in the early days of my introduction to baseball, there was Red Barber who was a warm and wonderful commentator. I had nothing to compare him to. Then came Vinny.

I live in LA and tune in to Dodger games all the time to listen to him. It doesn't matter that he reads off stat sheets for every player so you know how Daryl Ward fares against lefties on Tuesdays when the temperature is cool but humid. This gets old, but he could be talking about the effects of soil saturation on earthworm reproduction and it would sound good. And then Rick Monday takes over and you want to shoot yourself.

Marty is great, and was by far the best I'd ever heard. Scully is 20 years past his prime, and is still twice as good as Marty's ever been. No slam on Marty - Scully's that incredible. Here's another great Scully <a href="http://www.salon.com/people/feature/1999/10/12/scully_koufax/">story</a>. I’ve been saying the same thing since I moved to the West coast.
