Marty Glickman who was a big time announcer and quite famous at the time did UConn football on WTIC years ago. A Jew, he was an Olympic grade track man who was famously excluded from the Berlin Olympics to appease Hitler who was shown up anyway when Jesse Owens won a bunch of medals showing the aryans what a black man could do. Glickman had two nieces who were sisters who I went to hs with in Hartford and both tragically died before they were 35.

Vin Scully is amazing. I remember him starting out with the Dodgers in Brooklyn when I was a kid. A perfect broadcasters voice. More power to him.

I just hope Vin is prepared for all the internet trolls, jerks and general #2 heads out there.

Some consider him the best bb broadcaster of all time. I had the pleasure and privilege of listening to Vinny call Dodger games for 58 of his 67 years. Vin was a great story teller, and a great interviewer. I grew up listening to Vinny calling Dodger games. I went to my first Dodger game in 1958, and yes, I had my own personal transistor radio with an ear piece so that I could listen to Vin and Jerry (Doggett) call the game as I looked on.

All of the HOF legends at some point were interviewed by Vin. Even longtime Orioles and later Dodger first baseman Eddie Murray who shunned the press, and rarely consented to an interview, would talk to Vin.

Vinny was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He is a living legend. Is there room for Scully in the Boneyard? I think so, but I’m just a wee bit biased.
