To listen to Scully is to be drawn in by a storyteller—and a fellow traveler. Vin Scully, who now enters his final month on the job, began broadcasting for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1950 as an apprentice to Red Barber. It’s a baseball game. In 1950, you listened to Vin Scully because you wanted to know if the Dodgers were winning and he was the only way for you to find out. What unites the newer fans to the past is that they adore Vin Scully.
