Vin Scully Game Quotations

The only difference between a winning team and a losing team is one game. The winning team can win two out of three games...the losing team can only win one out of three.

It's a mere moment in a man's life between an All-Star game and an old-timer's game.

I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things.

That is the way this game is -- you win, you lose, you celebrate and you suffer.

On radio, you're in your own little world. Every time I'd be doing a possible no-hitter - I think I've done something like 25 no-hitters and a couple of perfect games - I would always put the date on the tape. Not for me, but for the player, so that 25 or 30 years later when he's playing it for his kids or grandkids, you have that date.

To be honest, I've never been interested in how many games I've done and seen. It doesn't mean anything to anybody. All I know is I'm eternally grateful for having been allowed to work so many games.

The game is just one long conversation, and I'm anticipating that, and I will say things like 'Did you know that?' or 'You're probably wondering why.' I'm really just conversing rather than just doing play-by-play. I never thought of myself as having a style. I don't use key words. And the best thing I do? I shut up.

It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star Game and an old timer's game.

Football is to baseball as blackjack is to bridge. One is the quick jolt. The other the deliberate, slow-paced game of skill, but never was a sport more ideally suited to television than baseball.
