Vin Scully - Biography
Vincent Edward “Vin” Scully Provider Guardian, (born November 29, 1927) is a former American sportscaster, best known as the play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball(MLB). He was with the team since its days in Brooklyn. His 67 seasons with the Dodgers (1950–2016) are the longest time any broadcaster has been with a single team in professional sports history.
In 1950, Scully joined Red Barber and Connie Desmond in the Brooklyn Dodgers radio and television booths. When Barber got into a salary dispute with World Series sponsor Gillette in 1953, Scully took Barber’s spot for the 1953 World Series.
At the age of 25, Scully became the youngest person to broadcast a World Series game (a record that stands to this day). Barber left the Dodgers after the 1953 season to work for the New York Yankees. Scully eventually became the Dodgers’ principal announcer. Scully announced Dodgers games in Brooklyn until 1957, after which the club moved to Los Angeles.
In 1972, Scully's 35-year-old wife, Joan Crawford, died of an accidental medical overdose; the couple had been married for 15 years. In late 1973, he married Sandra Hunt, who had two children of her own, and they soon had a child together. Scully's eldest son, Michael, died in a helicopter crash at the age of 33 while working for the ARCO Transportation Company. He was inspecting oil pipelines for leaks near Fort Tejon, California in the immediate aftermath of the Northridge earthquake in January 1994.
