As a kid growing up in New York, I fell in love with baseball listening to you on the Radio. 60+ years later and nothing changed. #DearVin

#DearVin there are no words, all I can say is thank you, because no matter where I am you make me feel like I'm at the game, that's special.

Vin Scully has managed to make fans feel like they were the only person in the room for 67 years. His style of broadcasting makes it feel like he is having a one-on-one conversation with you, telling stories from the past. There will never be another Vin Scully in sports, but let’s not be sad. Instead, let’s celebrate the amazing 67 years that Vin Scully gave to us. Thank you, Vin.
