As Bob Costas once stated "He was like listening to music" when calling a game. He could put you into the ballpark with his voice, the color and story telling. Just listening him to when the pitcher started from the stretch was priceless. " A look at the runner on 1st, looks back toward home, and the 6'4'' 220 pound right hander is into the set and delivers!" He added so much to radio, not to mention t.v.
Loved listening to him 10:30 on the East coast.
doubleheader today so pull up a chair.
I remember being 12 -15 and every dodger game i went too after the game was over i would stand below the booth and yell out Vin Vin and he would always look over the awning and ask my name and yell down did you have fun tonight and talk and wave.My dad would always yell at me to go to sleep in April May and June on a school night i would hide under my sheets with a little transistor radio from radio shack am only and listened to the game even if it went to extra innings.Those days were awsome Ktla channel 11 790 kabc,Vin,Jerry Dogut and Ross Porter those days were the best!RIP Vin.
One more note how famous did he make farmer john products, My Parents bought nothing but farmer john sausage because of those commercial reads!
Totally forgot Vin was on the national call for "The Catch"
"It's a madhouse in Candlestick"
I remember Vin would always stress, "Farmer John made with only the freshest Eastern corn fed pork."Originally Posted by mcaulay777
Classic.
We have to enjoy Bob Uecker while he's still active - 52 years calling Brewer games! 88 years young & still quite sharp!
Nice tribute they did on him before the Dodgers game tonight.
what a great guy.. rip sir
Did they have his corpse at the stadium???
No, but it would have been cool to do a "Weekend At Bernie's" thing with Kershaw and Fernando dragging him around the bases.
...clutching a Farmer John's sausage sandwich.
(I mean no disrespect, just thought I'd interject a little lame humor here, he was in reality a giant amongst men)

For some reason I thought he died like 5 years ago.
He gave 100 percent everytime he was to do the play by play

He retired in 2016. Maybe that's what you're thinking of.
