Vincent Edward Scully (born November 29, 1927) is an American retired sportscaster.
Scully is best known for his 67 seasons calling games for Major League Baseball's Dodgers, beginning in 1950 (when the franchise was located in Brooklyn) and ending in 2016.
His run constitutes the longest tenure of any broadcaster with a single team in professional sports history, and he is second only to Tommy Lasorda (by two years) in terms of number of years associated with the Dodgers organization in any capacity.
He retired at age 88 in 2016, ending his record-breaking run as their play-by-play announcer. In his final season behind the microphone, Scully announced most Dodger home games (and selected road games) on SportsNet LA television and KLAC radio.
He is known for his dulcet voice, lyrically descriptive style, and signature introduction to Dodger games: "It's time for Dodger baseball! Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good (afternoon/evening) to you, wherever you may be." He is considered by many to be the greatest baseball broadcaster of all time, according to fan rankings, Bleacher Report and Fox Sports.In addition to calling Dodgers baseball, Scully called various national baseball, football, and golf contests for CBS Sports from 1975 to 1982, and was NBC Sports' lead baseball play-by-play announcer from 1983 to 1989.
