Dodger Thoughts: Weisman: Vincent Scully ‘49

If I’m not mistaken...Scully was an original member of The Concords.

I was saving this for a special occasion, but when I read that Vin Scully’s Fordham alma mater was going to honor him tonight, it seemed like the right time to run it. Earlier this year, I had contacted the Fordham sports information department to see if there was anything fun they could find in their archives about Vinny, and they were kind enough to send me his yearbook photo.

Fordham’s radio station, WFUV 90.7 FM, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this evening in New York.

“I’m deeply grateful for these honors and consider myself extremely fortunate,” Scully said in the press release. “I was at Fordham when they started their FM radio station 60 years ago so I consider it a real privilege to have been there at the beginning.”

vin's the greatest. i was at the game last friday, it went 13 innings. my gf wanted to leave after the top of the 13th -- wimmen! -- so we started walking out, but i lingered over by the exit by the suites, and we could hear him, so i made her stick around and luckily they won it. he sounded as excited as i was.

It's a shame that's not in color. You can only imagine how red that hair is.

Nothing better than sitting in your backyard with a beer on a warm LA afternoon and listening to Scully's voice going out in surround sound from all your neighbors' radios.

Hope he lives long enough (or I die soon enough) for him to do my funeral.
