Who's Blogging  |
· Born in the Bronx on Nov. 29, 1927, to Irish immigrant parents. Played baseball at Fordham University. Served a year in the Navy.
· Began his professional radio career in 1949 at WTOP-AM in Washington. Was hesitant to apply to such a large station, but figured he had nothing to lose except another three cents for the stamp.
· Lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Sandra.
· Attributes the "musical" quality of his voice to the fact he is a prolific singer -- but only in private. Only public singing appearance: "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at Wrigley Field.
· Never smokes. Drinks only an occasional glass of wine at dinner. Avoids air conditioning at all cost.
· Never uses "we" when referring to the Dodgers.
It says everything about Scully that he has no world-famous calls, no well-worn catch phrases (except perhaps for his introduction). His trademark style, if you can call it that, is one of understatement.
