Remembering Vin Scully

Some people die young, which is horrible. Then there are people who reach a ripe old age and still die to young. Vin Scully is one of those people. One I thought would always be around.
He HAD been around forever! When I started to follow the boys in blue, Vin had been the voice of the Dodgers for over 30 years. He had so many famous soundbites and he kept on piling them up.
People took Vin to the Coliseum on their transistor radios and later to the Stadium. Me too, on a radio walkman. He gave you so much more insight during the game.
One of the best Vin moments for me personally was attending the Vin Scully appreciation game in 2016. The mayor, Mark Walter, Koufax, Kershaw, Costner giving heartfelt speeches and ofcourse Vin, his modest self, thanking everybody.
He retired but got to see the Dodgers win one more World Series. Beautiful!

To quote Obi-Wan after Alderaan was destroyed: “ As if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced”. The collective Dodgers fanbase fell silent after the news and we will be for quite some time.

Thanks, Vin, for being a brother, a father a grandpa, the all knowing voice of many generations, a tranquil beacon, a Dodger! 

I'll miss you, Vin!
