'Scully was a natural at descriptions. You could visualize exactly what was going on without even being at the game.' In memory of the legendary Dodgers broadcaster, we republished this tribute from A Martinez, former host of Take Two. RIP Vin
There were more cars produced here than anywhere else outside of Detroit. Aerospace companies provided good, high-paying jobs for hundreds of thousands of workers. Real estate development exploded, and people started to migrate here for the nice homes, the beaches, the mountains, the sunshine and a little slice of the American dream.In those days, Major League Baseball was king. If you didn’t have a team you pretty much were considered a minor league town.
But to make the argument that he’s the greatest of all time, fast forward to 1988 when no one expected much of the Dodgers.But as April turned into May, the Dodgers were leading the division and pretty much stayed in first place the rest of the way. They also had a roster full of players who pretty much no one considered superstars.Then they faced the powerful and heavily-favored New York Mets, a team with 100 wins and the second best record in the majors.I was an L.A.
For some reason, with two outs and a runner on-base, manager Tommy Lasorda decided to go for a Hail Mary. The Gibson call was amazing to hear as a broadcaster and as a fan, but there was one other moment that meant the world to me as a young Latino kid in L.A. who was obsessed with the Dodgers.By then, Valenzuela had pretty much done it all: season after season of total Fernando-mania from the fans, two-time World Series champ, Rookie of the Year, Cy Young Award winner, multiple All-Star Game appearances.He was almost there on June 29, 1990. Just two more outs and he’d have it.
