The man was the voice of the Brooklyn and L.A. Dodgers from 1950 to 2016. Golden voice, warm, familial, super-knowledgeable about baseball and exuded class and humility. Best sports announcer ever imo.

One of his best moments ever, Kirk Gibson's home run in the World Series in 1988


Yep. the man was calling games for the $250 million payroll Dodgers at age 89. Outstanding, sir.

I watched that live on TV as a kid. RIP, Vin.
Same here, best sports moment ever. The man had awesome dedication to his craft.

Sports has a unique way of bringing people together, and this man had a special way of bringing out the best in baseball.

Sad day.

I remember sneaking a transistor radio to elementary school so I could listen to him call the world series at recess.

74 I believe, Dodgers vs. A's.

Listening to him while driving was like magic.

Sometimes I'd just forget where I was going so I could pull over and listen.

End of a long era.

I would've liked to hear his call of Ferguson's throw to home plate in that series
