Vin Scully Almost a Yankee Broadcaster??!!!

I once had the pleasure of asking Vin what was his most memorable game that did not involve the Dodgers. I immediately thought it would be Game 6 of the '86 series. Nope! He said quickly without any hesitation that calling "The Catch" will always be the non-Dodger highlight of his broadcasting career.

You got to talk to Vinny? Cool.. :up Man, I am jealous.

I went to bed after the Mets "scored" that run in the 11th figuring the Dodgers lost. Woke up this morning to find out the run did not count and the Dodgers won.

It's amazing. You get all hyped up to watch the two best teams in the league play and it turns out to be a circus! That's why I adore this game so much...you never know what you'll see.

Like that blunder in the Trop on Sunday when the lineup card was incorrect and the Rays had to do without Longoria who was knocked out of the game and their PITCHER had to bat THIRD!!!! Never saw that before.

And he did a pretty good job at batting 3rd. Doubled in a run.

The thought of him calling Yankees games bring a cramp to my stomach!

That would have been a dream come true, the protege following his mentor.

Vin Sculley is the best, and he learned from the best (Red Barber).

That is true. Vinny himself says so as often too.
