RIP, Bill Russell and Vin Scully!

Wow! These were two of the true titans of their respective professions.

Not a soul has done or will do what they did ANY better.

As for Mr. Scully, who started broadcasting baseball in 1950, he was the TV soundtrack of my summers.

I'm very sad to learn of their passing over the last few days.

scully was actually part of a trade in 1950, i don;t recall any other instance of a team literally trading a broadcaster as part of a deal. with Scully';s passing I think that makes Uecker the oldest living active or former broadcaster in baseball.
