Rockies pay visit to Scully's booth, gift in hand

"Just out of respect -- he was always too squeaky clean for me -- you didn't want to use any vulgar words around him," Lachemann said, laughing.

Farewell, Vin Scully

Rockies manager Walt Weiss can laugh about one of Scully's most famous calls -- when the Dodgers' Kirk Gibson hobbled to the plate on two bad legs and parked a ninth-inning homer to win Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. Weiss was the shortstop for the Athletics, who lost the game and eventually watched the Dodgers win the Series.

On the field, he didn't hear Scully.
