Vin Scully shares his favorite call of his career

Vin Scully has been the voice of the Dodgers for a little more than half a century.

Scully, 87, is in his 67th season calling Dodgers games. During those years he's called 25 World Series, 12 All-Star games and three perfect games. So he’s been to iconic ballparks, seen amazing players and called unforgettable plays.

Who can forget Hank Aaron’s 715th home run: "Fastball, a high drive to deep left-center field, Buckner goes back to the fence and it is gone!"

How about Kirk Gibson’s “shot in the dark” during the 1988 World Series: "High fly ball into right field, she is gone! In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened."

There was Mark McGwire’s home run out of Dodgers Stadium, too: "He’s done it again! And let’s see where that goes. It hits the top of the roof!”

But does Scully have a favorite call?

During the Dodgers-Angels game at Angels Stadium on Thursday, Scully was asked by Fox Sports West’s Mark Gubicza if there was one call or game he felt best about.

Scully looked back to the early days, when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn.

"I don’t know. Maybe I was younger, more impressionable, more emotional when the Dodgers won in Brooklyn their only World Series. I had lived with the frustration of the team from 1950 through '54,” he said. “So when they won it in '55, and to know what it meant to the borough, and to know what it meant to the players who had been so frustrated, that was a very important call. And it was very simple. All I said was, 'Ladies and gentlemen, the Brooklyn Dodgers are the champions of the world.'”

"And people said to me that winter, 'How could you have been so calm?' To be honest, I could not have said another word. I would have broken down and cried."

Scully announced this past August that this would be his last season broadcasting for the Dodgers. His final game will be the last regular-season game against the Giants in San Francisco on Oct. 2.
