Rare Photos of Vin Scully

Vin Scully

Vin Scully has announced he'll return to the Dodgers in 2011 to broadcast games for an amazing 62nd season. In 1953, at the age of 25, he became the youngest person to ever broadcast a World Series game, a record that still stands. He has called 28 of them altogether, another record.

Though his first love is baseball, Scully has also broadcast tennis, golf and football. He was behind the mic for one of the NFL's most famous plays, the Joe Montana to Dwight Clark touchdown pass during the fourth quarter of the 1982 NFC Championship game.
