Legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully has been with the Dodgers since 1950. Over that time, he has developed into the greatest play-by-play man of all-time, and that's in any sport. The 1949 Fordham-WFUV alum has delighted the ears of the Brooklyn and Los Angeles faithful with his unique style for 63 years.
