Vin Scully

Vincent Edward Scully (born November 29, 1927 in The Bronx, New York) is an American sportscaster, known primarily as the play-by-play voice of Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games.

Criticism

Scully has sometimes been criticized for his decisions to not mention certain distasteful off-field circumstances involving the Dodgers during baseball broadcasts. The night before the 1981 baseball strike began, while the impending strike was the talk of the sports world, Scully never even mentioned it. But, as he always had done, he did promote tickets for upcoming games—games that were never played. In 1978, Scully chose to avoid any mention of a much publicized fight between Dodgers Steve Garvey and Don Sutton, even though it was the lead story the next day in the Los Angeles Times.
