In 1950, Vin Scully broadcast his first major league baseball game
for the then-Brooklyn Dodgers. Nearly sixty years later he still
invites a listener to "pull up a chair," completing a record
fifty-ninth consecutive year of play-by-play. Recruited and
mentored by the legendary Red Barber, the New York-born Scully
moved with the Dodgers to Los Angeles in early 1958. His instantly
recognizable voice has described players from Duke Snider to Orel
Hershiser to Manny Ramirez, with hundreds in between. At one time
or another, Scully has aired NBC Television's Game of the Week,
twelve All-Star Games, eighteen no-hitters, twenty-five World
Series, and network football, golf, and tennis. He has made every
sportscasting Hall of Fame; received a Lifetime Emmy Achievement
award and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; and been voted"most
memorable [L.A. Dodgers] franchise personality." In 2000, the
American Sportscasters Association named Scully the Sportscaster of
the 20th Century. The first biography of Vin Scully is long
overdue. Curt Smith-to USA Today,"The voice of authority on
baseball broadcasting"-is the ideal man to write it. Scully opens
each broadcast by wishing listeners, "A very pleasant good
afternoon." Pull Up a Chair will provide a reader with the same.
