Vin Scully, the voice of the Dodgers for more than six decades, whose folksy manner and melodic language made him a beloved figure in American culture, has died. He was 94. 
In an interview in 2016, his final season, Scully described his approach to the job simply: “I guess it’s kind of a running commentary with an imaginary friend.” latimes.com/obituaries/sto…
He was so unassuming, every time he phoned you, he would announce himself by his full name.
“Bill, this is Vin Scully,” @BillPlaschke says of Scully's calls, “and you would invariably laugh, because you knew it was him from the moment he said, ‘Bill.’

Unofficially, he sang show tunes on his drive to work, attended weekly Mass outside the Dodgers’ clubhouse, and would spend afternoons sitting by his backyard pool doing play-by-play of his children swimming.

Dylan was in the Coors Field media dining room, food untouched, when Scully sat down in front of him.
Scully smiled mischievously. “Mr. Hernandez, were you overserved last night?”
Dylan laughed, forgetting for a few seconds about how much he hurt.

From @GustavoArellano: Along with Kobe Bryant — another local sports legend with a huge Latino fan base — no other non-Latino SoCal luminary will evoke the same emotion among us.
Vin Scully was more than the soundtrack of our lives. He was our lives.

Like so many Latinos, Scully came to a city brimming with possibility and made the most out of it. And he did it humbly, always hailing others before him, always preferring family over the spotlight. latimes.com/california/sto…
🎥 Remembering Vin Scully
In 1960, Vin Scully made a request on the @Dodgers broadcast: Fans at the game, wait for his signal, then shout Happy Birthday! to an ump.
“That was the night I realized...the transistor radio could be a great bridge between me and the fans.”
