How great is it to listen to Vin Scully calling a game

For this episode, Homer gave up drinking beer, so he attends a ballgame in a complete state of sobriety...



Baseball announcer (sounds a lot like Vin Scully): "Wait a minute! The batter is calling for time. Looks like he's going and getting himself a new bat. And now there's a beach ball on the field. And the ball boys are discussing which one of them is gonna go get it."

Homer: "I never realized how boring this game is."

He has actually been immortalized twice. During the introduction to the Gabo show, Gabo says he can imitate Vin Scully, then breaks out the impression.

Last night Vin wished a happy birthday to former Dodger Pedro Guerrero, who turned 57. I thought about it for a second and realized that by the time Pedro was born in 1956, Vin was in his seventh year of broadcasting Dodgers games! And by the time Guerrero made his big-league debut with the Dodgers in 1978, Vin had been doing games for 29 seasons. Amazing.
