Vin Scully spent nearly six decades of his prolific play-by-play career calling Dodgers games in Los Angeles, but the Hall of Fame broadcaster was New York through and through. Born in the Bronx, Scully immortalized himself locally as the voice of the Brooklyn Dodgers’ 1955 World Series championship before owner Walter O’Malley moved the team to Southern California less than three years later. Throughout his life, Scully remained involved with the WFUV radio station he helped found at the Bronx’s Fordham University — and continues to inspire alumni including the YES Network’s Michael Kay, Ryan Ruocco and Jack Curry. “He was one of ours,” Kay, the Yankees play-by-play announcer for YES, told the Daily News.
