Earlier this month, Vin Scully wrapped up 67 years of broadcasting games for the Dodgers. He began his career in 1950 when the Dodgers still played at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, and he followed the team to Los Angeles when it moved there in 1958. He was behind the microphone for some of the most famous plays in baseball history, including the ball that went through Buckner’s legs in the ’86 Series and Gibson’s walk-off home run in Game 1 of the ’88 Series.
