He will be missed. I love to hear him during the end of the season. He does the game he is at and does the games that matter for the playoffs. A true gem.

I don't think that Scully should have announced his return so early, but rather should have waited until the Dodgers' season is over. If he's thinking of retirement, there's no better way to go out than with a winner - if not this year, then maybe next.

Scully is more than a regional SoCal figure; he's a national icon, a true Hall of Famer in his line of work.

Still is amazing to hear segments of his broadcasting from afar. Seems to have lost little or nothing from his game. Much tougher for a baseball broadcaster now than earlier in Vin's career, what with all teams and players (so many with foreign names) and player movement from team to team.

I'm sure he's set an all-time professional sports record now with 64 years with the same organization. The only figure I can think of who was anywhere near that longevity was Connie Mack with the Philadelphia A's, and Scully is about ten years up on Mack.
