Vin Scully has called some of the biggest baseball games ever too. I mean he's been with the Dodgers for 50+ years too. Some guys have been blessed with the gift of gab and the guys we have been discussing are certainly blessed. I wish I had it, talk about a dream job.

I don't know if he still does it, but during the World Series, I would turn down the volume of the tv and listen to Vin on the CBS radio call.
Red Barber was great too. Lots of good ones in baseball. Bob Uecker is a hoot.
