He's not going to call games in the playoffs. Called his last Dodger home game yesterday.

Get in the booth you lazy piece of shit!

That sucks. Grew up on Vin broadcasts. He would have been worth paying to listen to call the games for old times sake.

That's odd. Does he normally stop calling the games in the postseason?

He said he didn't want to keep approaching elimination games as his final game.

I thought he wanted to go out calling a Giants game.

He left on his own terms and said he did not want to have a Dodgers-Giants game decide his career. Is this really news to you people.

It's not odd. Vin Scully is the TV guy for Dodger games. Not the radio guy. Just like Hawk and Len don't do post season games.

I believe Vin does a simulcast, but there are separate two-man booths for the games he doesn't work. Charley Steiner does one side or the other.

Long form. Good read. Boilermaker Rick may want to pass, or take a look and see if it changes your mind, nevermind :wink:

. The Aaron call (who made it) was debated here several years ago. Vin's is provided here.

This one is good too.
