There’s no denying Vin Scully was truly one of the greats. “We have lost an icon,” Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said in a statement on Twitter. “The Dodgers Vin Scully was one of the greatest voices in all of sports. He was a giant of a man, not only as a broadcaster, but as a humanitarian.” Kasten added, “He loved people. He loved life. He loved baseball and the Dodgers. And he loved his family. His voice will always be heard and etched in all of our minds forever.”
It didn’t take long until his fellow reporters, fans, and other prominent figures in sports shared their tributes. “He was just as popular as any Dodger player. His legacy will live on throughout Major League Baseball & he will be remembered as the greatest announcer ever in MLB history,” NBA superstar Magic Johnson wrote. “Vin Scully was not just the voice of #Dodgers but the voice of #MLB. He was the standard & Godfather of #MLB Broadcasters,” MLB analyst Jim Bowden said in a tweet.
In his final Dodgers broadcast in 2016, Scully offered everyone his ever-reassuring words. “You and I have been friends for a long time, but I know in my heart I’ve always needed you more than you’ve ever needed me. And I’ll miss our time together more than I can say,” he mused, per USA Today. “I have said enough for a lifetime… So this is Vin Scully, wishing you a very pleasant good afternoon – wherever you may be.”
