I'm a lifelong Orioles fan, but I absolutely loved watching Dodgers games simply because of Vin Scully. He stopped calling games at some point over the last couple of years and boy did I miss it. Just an endless supply of great baseball stories. He will be missed.

My favorite play-by-play announcer ever and a really classy guy. My dad's friend ran into him in Pittsburgh and when asked Scully said life on the road was damn boring.

A true legend has passed from the mortal world, but he has graced us with the memories of his pinnacle broadcasting.  For that we are eternally thankful.

RIP Scully, you were one in a million.

I had press passes for over 20 years with the Orioles and met or saw many famous baseball people. Having Jim Palmer walk behind you in line for food in the press lounge was a pretty normal experience, so I was rarely if ever star struck.

Saying that, one year, can't remember when, the Dodgers had come to town and there, sitting in the table next to me, wearing a powder blue sports jacket was the legend himself, Vin Scully. 

I don't know what it was about being so close to this living legend that made me star struck, but for the first time I was just that. I wanted to go up and chat with him, but every time I looked over someone else was taking a little time with him. I never did get a chance to say hello or to thank him for all he's done for the sport of baseball, but I'll never forget that time he sat at that next table.

RIP to a legend of broadcasting that will never be topped. A true first class man who treated every person with respect and like an old friend.
