A man really determines himself by what he does.
VIN SCULLYA man really determines himself by what he does.
VIN SCULLYI’m not a military general, a business guru, not a philosopher or author. It’s only me.
VIN SCULLYThe roar of the crowd has always been the sweetest music. It’s intoxicating.
VIN SCULLYI guess my thermometer for my baseball fever is still a goose bump.
VIN SCULLYI think when I first started, I tried to make believe I was in the ballpark, sitting next to somebody and just talking. And if you go to a ballgame, and you sit there, you’re not going to talk pitches for three hours.
VIN SCULLYIt’s a great time of the year. If you can stand it.
VIN SCULLYIn all honesty, once you become a professional, number one, you’re no longer a fan. I don’t root for the Dodgers, really. I just try to do the game as best I can. And the winning and the losing will take care of itself.
VIN SCULLYIf I categorized home runs that I’ve seen, without a doubt the monumental one is Henry’s. But I’ve seen a lot of classic, great home runs. Gibson’s was probably the most theatrical home run I’ve ever seen.
VIN SCULLYThank you for sneaking your transistor under the pillow as you grew up loving the Tigers. God has a new adventure for me.
VIN SCULLYLosing feels worse than winning feels good.
VIN SCULLYI don’t like to be alone, but I do cherish the moments that I’m alone with a good book.
VIN SCULLYGood is not good when better is expected.
VIN SCULLYThat really is my trademark. Day to day, week in, week out. If something happens and the crowd roars, I shut up.
VIN SCULLYI really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things. The only thing I hate – and I know you have to be realistic and pay the bills in this life – is the loneliness on the road.
VIN SCULLYIt’s a wonderful feeling to be a bridge to the past and to unite generations. The sport of baseball does that, and I am just a part of it.
VIN SCULLYI’m going to sit back, light up, and hope I don’t chew the cigarette to pieces.
