This quote introduced Dodgers fans in Brooklyn to "Vince" Scully in the 1950 Dodger Yearbook:
"Third and youngest member of the Dodger airlanes trio (with Red Barber & Connie Desmond) is Vince Scully, a 1949 Fordham University graduate who in his closing college days covered Ram football, basketball and baseball games over the school station after lettering for two years as an outfielder on the diamond. Vince is 23, single, makes his home in New York."
A very simple introduction to a remarkable career and on-going love affair between an organization and a city with one very special broadcaster. Over his time with the Dodgers, Vin Scully has broadcasted some of baseball's greatest moments: Sandy Koufax's four no-hitters; Kirk Gibson's 1988 World Series home run; Don Larsen's Perfect Game in the 1956 World Series; Dodger World Championships in 1955, '59, '63, '65, '81 and '88; just to name a few.
