Scully's 38-second pause after Kuenn's strikeout should be in a radio-TV textbook for Communication majors ⚾
Joe Davis just told the incredible story of how the recording of this game exists. A 17 year-old Dodgers fan living in San Diego had to make the decision of going on a last date with his high school sweetheart before going to college, or staying home and listening to the game on his transistor radio. He had recently purchased a device that could record broadcasts and made the (smart) decision to go on the date that night and record the game. During the second inning, his dad walked by his room and noticed the game wasn't recording, so he luckily turned the device on. The game was thankfully recorded, we get to enjoy this piece of history and Vinny's phenomenal call!
As for the teenage fan, he ended up marrying his high school sweetheart - they named their daughter, Sandy.
wow. i live for stories like this.. someone make a movie out of it!!!
Very similar story to how we have the Shot Heard 'Round the World, although that one is a little less romantic.
The legend of Vin Scully is just too good! 💙
@@sfan2767 Yeah. That Russ Hodge’s call was recorded by a Giant’s fan who lived in Brooklyn.
Was this on a podcast or something?
"And there's 29,000 people in the ballpark and a million butterflies."
Man, Scully was one of the best to ever do it.
“The fans are starting to see the pitches with their heart”.
MASTERFUL Vin (THE GOAT)
That was masterful, wasn't it? What a storyteller, poet, and historian of the game. A national treasure.
Vin Scully brought to life some very important, wonderful and exciting moments in baseball history and some of the saddest and most shocking moments in baseball history.
One of???
He was the best!! Hands down, no debate!!
This is what baseball used to be. Magical.
I miss it very much.
Well said.
Not sure it's baseball's fault that Sandy Koufax was a once in a lifetime pitcher!
It is such a shame there is no footage of this game, but Vin Scully did a great job at describing every detail of the game, like he always has. He will be missed after such an awesome career.
Watch the documentary "Fastball" on Netflix. Not only is it a fantastic documentary on the history of the fastball and notorious fastball pitchers, it also contains recently discovered and restored footage from the perfect game. Right behind home. I loved the whole documentary, but that part in particular.
And in that "Fastball" doc, Sandy; true to form, doesn't appear at all
drums4metal steve
There is indeed footage of this game- but very little. It’s like 3 or 4 pitches.
I think it's poetically appropriate. It adds to the mystique. Like Chamberlain's 100 point game
"Twenty nine thousand people in the ballpark.. and a million butterflies."
"A lot of the people in the ballpark are starting to see the pitches with their heart.."
"I would think that the mound at Dodger Stadium is the loneliest place in the world."
"One out away from the promised land!"
"..where Sandy threw instead of pitched.."
"Two and two to Harvey Kuenn.. one strike away.... here's the pitch.... SWUNG ON AND MISSED, A PERFECT GAME" followed by roughly forty seconds of silence so the audience can hear and feel the crowd.
All of that in only one half inning of announcing.. this is why those of us lucky enough to have grown up listening to Vin Scully feel so blessed. Vin was as accurate with his descriptions as Kuofax was with his breaking ball.
Remember when he called the 89 series and Gibson's homer. I think he was silent even longer after that hit He was a fabulous talker, but partly because he knew how to use silence so well.
@@jr6200 ‘88 series.
@@lesliemcmurray4737 Remember Pee Wee's Big Adventure, when he crashed his bike in front of some kids and said: I meant to do that.
@@jr6200 I agree. Scully's call of that at-bat was the single greatest I ever heard. Pure magic. One minute and four seconds of silence.
@@jr6200 Yes. Thank you. I do remember that. The correlation is uncanny!
“A lot of the fans are starting to see the pitches with their heart” is classic Scully.
“I would think that...the mound at Dodger stadium is the loneliest place in the world”
I was actually at this game. The Boys Club took a bus full of us to the game. The bus broke down and we showed up at the stadium in the 3rd inning. What a game. Never will forget such a memorable game!!!
Wow ! What a memory !
wow THAT must have been exciting! I would love to have seen a Koufax perfect game! I am jealous! Great memory.
WOW! My son and I saw Jered Weaver pitch his No No and it was electric.
Listened to that game with my father as an 11 year old. Lived in Toronto and heard it from a station in Buffalo. Cemented a life long love of the game.
@@johnmacmillan1436 And now we’ve lost Vin Scully.
Now that’s a play by play
Absolutely as eloquent in his silences as with his words. The perfect call of the perfect game. Immaculate!
Even on Radio he was silent for over 40 seconds after. I love that about Scully and I wish more announcers let the crowd do the talking.
On television it works well, but on radio it's ridiculous. He did the same thing on Joe Carter's world series home run in 1993 and was criticized for it.
@@vicepresidentmikepence889 Dont think so, he was paying homage to Sandy so a historical moment would be preserved. Better than hearing screaming for 40 seconds but I get you.
The "nitwits" that masquerade as announcers today don't know when to SHUT UP!!!
I thought Vin fell asleep, he sounded like he yawned through the last innings with little to say. Just "that brings up" blah, blah, blah, "swung on strike three" sorry, he is a nice man. Just not very exciting.
Vin Scully calling Sandy Koufax...legends everywhere
Yes. Vin deserved getting to call Sandy's perfect game. And Sandy deserved having Vin Scully call it.
The greatest pitcher of all time in his greatest game, called by the greatest announcer of all time. Baseball heaven.
❤100 percent agree. I grew up in LA listening to every Dodgers game. Koufax was the best in every way.
Vin was, is & always will be the greatest broadcaster in sports history as well as one of the greatest storytellers of all time.
BAR NONE! My first game he's RIGHT THERE. I'm 9. I stared at him. He seeeemed to look my way, I waved at him. He waved back at me. O_O HE WAVED AT ME.
"DAD! DAD! VIN SCULLY JUST WAVED AT ME!!" Now what other announcer elicited an excited response just like a star player?
Even at 9 I knew how special he was. WHERE ELSE WOULD PEOPLE ASK, "Could you turn up Vinny a bit more?"
There's the damn game in front of us. But we wanted the MASTER STORYTELLER to poetically put his spin on it and maybe tell a Brooklyn Dodger story or two.
All over So Cal Vinnie's voice could be heard!
You’re god damn right he is!
Idk about that...im partial to the other legend down the freeway chick hearn. I guess we were lucky to have both four so many years...cheers and la sports is the best...except for the clippers lol
And he did both , tell stories that were actually pertinent to whatever game he was calling ,plus as you mention , he was , at least for me , the best there ever was .
Vin Scully's comments while broadcasting a game were always intelligent and relevant to the moment. It was a pleasure to hear him.
And sadly, flags are at half-staff tonight in Chavez Ravine, as Vinny's wonderful voice has gone silent. He was 94. Easily the GOAT. No one even in 2nd place. Many decades ago, he made this newcomer to the US a baseball fan.
I heard this on the radio, my mom was ironing and we were listening to the game. Thrilling. What a guy.
The Voice of Baseball...
As Mariano Rivero was the no one close best closer ever (and I'm a Red Sox fan), so too Vin is the no one close best broadcaster, probably in any sport. I was so lucky to grow up in LA. GOAT!
This is an absolute piece of artwork. Kind of surprising that in 1965 all games weren't already being recorded.
I was 15 when I heard the entire game on radio. I was so nervous. Sandy was so beloved in every city he pitched. On his off days between starts he would get standing ovations from the opposing crowds when he came out on the field just to throw warm up pitches before games.
Can I please go back in time to 65. Football at Harris's field and baseball with Moose Schuler at Grace park.
Old guy
Wow. Is that true?
True story! On his way back to the dugout number 8 hitter Joey Amalfitano said to number 9 hitter Harvey Keuhn, “See you in a second!”
Vin will be missed greatly, not only by Dodger fans, but by millions of baseball lovers everywhere.
GO DODGERS! WIN FOR VIN
I’m a Mariners fan but I love Vin Scully
Sometimes I listen to Scully and Red Barber audio to relax. It's therapeutic.
Rest In Peace to the great Vin Scully. You will always be remembered for being a great broadcaster and inspiration to many. Thank you. 🙏🏻
The state of California turned 115 years young on the night of Sandy's perfect game. 😁
My favorite moment in LA Dodgers history.
I wasn't born when this occurred and being that I've never seen a dodger throw a oerfecto this has to be truly one if the most special
"When he wrote his name in capital letters in the record books that "K" stands out more than the 'OUFAX'." - Vin Scully, the end of an era.
Not just the best sportscaster in history.....the best broadcaster, period.
67 years doing play by play and color commentary by himself filled with interesting facts, trivia and wonderful anecdotes. Today they fill the air with exit velocity and other meaningless analytics. Scully did all of his preparation by himself aided by an incredible memory with no help from a producer feeding him information.
I listened to this game at home. I just graduated from high school, I was going through my textbooks for my first semester at college. I'll never forget that magical moment. I went nuts hooting and hollering all over the house, My parents must have thought I'd gone loco or had gotten hold of LSD or bad weed. I have been a Dodger fan since 1959!
.
Koufax was BRILLIANT!!! 'nuff said!!!
Classic Vin Scully, describes the feeling in the stadium so well you feel you are there and then shuts up so all you hear is the roar of the crowd as if you are in it. He was everyone's favorite - the best ever.
Koufax and Scully! There will never be anyone else that comes close to their excellence
Just had to listen to you call this game one more time. We will your voice and love of the game forever. Rest In Peace.
Rest Easy, Vin
This is poetry.
I remember holding my breath while listening.
My parents were fortunate enough to be in the ballpark. They never left early.
Two masters of their crafts. One pitching...one talking about it.
History............
REST IN PEACE VIN
Vin was the best ever.
May Vin Scully rest in peace. And may his loved ones each be comforted and healed.
Vin Scully had such a wonderful voice combined with encyclopedia-like knowledge--- and we were privileged to be treated to TWO THIRDS OF A CENTURY of listening to this man!
Rest in eternal peace, Mr Scully---this baseball fan will remember you as long as I live.
Me too. Vin is embedded in the core of my heart
only game in mlb history where both teams combined for only one hit and 2 base runners. Quirks- only a one game series with the Cubs, not a make up of a rain out game. Then 5 days later, the Dodgers played the Cubs again in Chicago and Koufax and Hendley faced each other again in their next pitching assignments ! I attended the game, box seat was $ 3.50. Almost 30 years later to the day, 9-4-95, Koufax was at a card show in San Francisco. He autographed my perfect game ticket stub. The show charged $60. Well worth it !
Two legends at work that night. One on the mound and the other in the booth.
Two of the greatest all time
One on the mic
The other on the mound
I miss ya already Vin
We only have this recording because Vin Scully called the truck and told them to record the last inning. I wish we had the whole game
Justin Charlswick The game wasn't even televised in Los Angeles back in the day.
Justin Charlswick if only we could go back in time. Man that must have been something to see this game in person.
Called the truck? No TV, no truck. You don't need much equipment for radio. He just asked the producer in the booth to patch him into a reel to reel recorder.
I heard this on the radio as it happened❤️Greatest pitcher and Greatest announcer ever❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️❤️
@@rhondablack8079 Me too! My brothers and I listened to the whole game and were glued to the radio in the 9th!
Who else is in here absolutely heartbroken?
Rest in peace vince. You will forever be in our hearts.
Possibly the most overpowering pitching performance for a single game in MLB history. The last 6 outs were all K's, the last 5, swinging. The Cubs had some pretty good hitters on that team, but they were helpless against Koufax's blazing fastball and pinpoint control.
Hard to Top Max Scherzer's no no with 17K's, Like Kershaw's, Scherzer didn't walk anyone, it was an error that cost him.
Tom Seaver fanned the last 10 on the first Earth Day in 1970.
@Otávio Ferreira Fact!
I believe the Cubs pitcher that night threw a 1 hitter- total hits in the game by both teams= 1
@@wilsonking1617 You are correct! The most distinguishing aspect of Cub pitcher Bob Hendley's career was his performance in this game, and in the next head-to-head duel he had with Koufax at Wrigley 5 days later, which he, and the Cubs won, 2-1. Hendley allowed only 2 base runners in 8 complete innings, and only one hit, which didn't come until the 7th, and was inconsequential. The lone run he allowed came in the fifth, and was unearned: walk, sac bunt moved runner to 2nd, runner steals 3rd base, and scores on throwing error by catcher on the steal. This game holds the MLB record for fewest base runners in a perfect game (both teams) with 2.
One of the greatest to ever pitch finishing a perfect game called by the unquestionable GOAT of commentators. What a moment captured.
I was 14 years old and at this game. You could hear Vin's voice through out the stadium on fans transistor radios.
This is evidence that supports the idea that 'radio has better pictures' than TV has.
By listening, you get all you need to "see" what is happening.
Of course, the skill of the announcer plays a significant part.
Scully was a master at capturing the moment. Notice how he states the date and year. He knows it is a historic moment, and he preserves the essence of it all. Clearly it is not just another day at the ballpark. By him doing this it puts the event into perspective today,and it as well puts you in the moment. Definitely Scully was a great recorder of history!
I can’t listen to this without blubbering like a baby...
I wasn't even born yet and just listening to this makes me emotional. I have an idea what you had to experienced: I was at old Yankee Stadium on July 18, 1999 when David Cone tossed his Perfect Game.
It was simply magical listening to Vin call a game. The greatest story teller ever!
you can smell the grass and dirt.
With the way Vinny describes what is going on here, you don't need video to tell what's going on. Just goes to show you just how great of a sportscaster Vinny was.
He hardly said a thing, "that bring up," and "swung on strike three" "and Sandy Koufax has pitched a perfect game." And yes, even on radio any baseball fan knows what it looks like.
I heard this game on my transior radio12 yrs old and a GIANTS fan living in the Valley But did I love Sandy Koufax....THE GREATEST!!!!!
RIP Vin Scully greatest sportscaster of all time
Vin isn't dead you dope
Hey BIGGER DIPSHIT GO to HELL!!!
What is YOUR problem?
You're the problem, moron
The great Vin Scully after the last out allowing us to enjoy the roar of the crowd without interjection. 😀 Also Jeff Torborg, Dodgers catcher called an amazing game
Swung on and miss, a perfect game!
I'm used to Vin on TV, where he's brilliant in his use of silence at the perfect times and condensed, insightful commentary. Hearing him on the radio doing PBP by himself, he's freaking brilliant. He paints a wonderful picture with his descriptions of the players and the peripheral activity between plays. Great radio guys are much more rare than great TV guys, and Vin was both.
I agree, on the NBC games, the less Vin said, the better the game was . . . he added nothing.
Happy Birthday Sandy Koufax!!!
I kept hearing about this call today. Thank God it's available. He was magic with words, but letting us hear the crowd for about 40 seconds was pure brilliance.
Perfection describing perfection....
The best announcer of all time calling a game pitched by a pitcher who had an unparalleled 5-year run. I was blessed to grow up in SoCal what I could listen to Vin every night. Even as Giants fan, I relished every word out of Vin's mouth. Thanks for the memories...
Yes me too
Never heard of this guy, nor do I enjoy listening to games via radio. I also know absolutely nothing about baseball but this Scully guy paints a great picture. RESPECT 👊🏽👊🏽💯
have you been living under a rock?
Scully is a master!!! Always has been. Even as a Cubs fan I love listening to Vince describing Sandy mowing my guys down!!!
I was luckily at this game too. Eleven years old and saw my baseball hero pitch his most famous game. There is no video of this game but it was so impressive to me that I can still replay video of it in my head. Lou Johnson stealing second, going to third on an error, scoring on a sac fly. And then Harvey Kuehn swinging from his heels and missing on the final strike.
Rest in peace, Vin
Vin Scully was the poet laureate of baseball announcers. I grew up in Alabama and fell in love with baseball by listening to the guys on TBS doing the Atlanta Braves - Skip Caray, Ernie Johnson, and Pete Van Wieren. I was only exposed to Vin on Saturdays on NBC with Joe Garagiola. But there was a sophistication and gravitas that was always there.
And current Braves radio announcer Ben Ingram had a subtle callback to this call I think. During 9th inning of game 6 of the 2021 World Series, Ben dropped several time checks into his call. Even well over 50 years after Sandy's perfect game, Vin's call is still leaving an impact.
I enjoyed Skip Caray too, move than Vin. That Caray lineage knew how to call a game and excite a generation.
Look how long Koufax’s fingers are! He could really snap off a curve ball. For five straight seasons, he was unquestionably the best pitcher in baseball.
I didn't realize til I saw a recent clip that he wound up so far that his pitching hand came within inches of hitting the ground.
First time I've heard this. Great, just great!
perhaps the greatest left-handed curveball ever.
Yup, most couldnt even fathom the break. Kershaw has a great curveball but Sandy's I think is the greatest.
In terms of sheer break, I think only Zito's compares. But Zito didn't have high 90s to contrast with it.
Not perhaps.
@@theForrestGalantey Koufax's curve broke sharply...the other guy's curve was more gradual. Please don't mention Kershaw to compare in any way with Koufax...
@@johnnypastrana6727 You're right but I did recognize Koufax being the greatest to ever grace the mound. Koufax to this day has the greatest 12-6 curve no doubt and will always most likely Along with Koufax's velocity it was unhittable.
This extemporaneous commentary is so perfect that it was included verbatim in the Fireside Book of Baseball…
Scully is the gold standard for broadcasting. Painted the perfect word picture every time. Timeless delivery and eloquence throughout his 60 yrs behind mic; future generations should be able to appreciate his level of detail, enunciation and clarity, equal parts informative and entertaining. He held a master class of his craft every time.
@@va4719 I wish the announcers including football would listen carefully to his technique and try to emulate it.
“I would think that the mound at Dodger Stadium is the loneliest place in the world” is such a poetic description.
I'm a drummer and my favorite is Buddy Rich who is considered by many, the greatest drummer ever. Vin Scully is the Buddy Rich of broadcasters.
The greatest curve in the history of the game, perhaps
im a Giants fan always listening to vin scully on KFI. Only came in at night
Anthony Pistoia I was a Dodger fan but listened to a giants games with Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons. Loved the way they called the games. At night when I was finally able to get KfI I would listen to my beloved Dodgers. I will never forget those times.
Vin Scully is the greatest mlb announcer that has ever existed
Truly a pitching and announcing gem for the ages!! CHEERS!
A masterclass. Pure and simple. The great Sandy Koufax and Vin Scully. Just incredible. This makes me feel so much pride for baseball the game of baseball and the city of Los Angeles. Beautiful
Ah yes, my childhood hero. I once had a Sandy Koufax autographed baseball. To make a long story long, as a kid we lived in an apartment building on Sweetzer Ave between Santa Monica and Fountain in what is now West Hollywood. Somehow, I don't know how, I found out Sandy lived on the same street. This was before his first no-hitter in 1962. So I buy a new baseball, knock on his door and say "excuse me Mr. Koufax, would you mind signing this baseball?" and he does! Shortly after that he pitched that first no hitter, June 30, 1962, got a bonus from the Dodgers and moved out.
Do you know where that baseball is now? Neither do I. I think in a move from one apartment to another my mom threw it out along with my baseball cards and ten cent comic books (25 cents for the jumbo ones). I wonder how much all that stuff would be worth today. She was a 1960s version of Marie Kondo - an extreme minimalist. Bless her soul...
"But mom! That baseball sparks joy!"
Cool story and great memory!
Brings happy tears!
FeelsStrongMan
Listen to how amazingly calm _Vinnie_ is- and the ump *behind the plate* is making Sandy *earn* all of his strikes. Joe Buck would be shitting himself at this point. Maybe Al Michaels could pull this off- but I tend to doubt it.
Joe Buck is good.
@@markwoldin162 He’s ok.
A brilliant call of a spectacular performance. Two great artists at work.
This is my greatest childhood memory!
The game was a double-no-hitter until the seventh inning. Losing pitcher Jim Hendley only gave up that one hit, and it didn't factor into the run that the Dodgers scored. Koufax retired pinch-hitter Harvey Kuenn for the final out; oddly enough, Kuenn was also the final batter retired during Koufax's no-hitter against the Giants in 1963.
Scully will be remembered for a century. What a unique voice and delivery style.
My birthday present that day.... turned 16 years old... listened to it with my very small transistor radio.. Mom checking on me and remind me I had to go to school next morning every 5 minutes but she would ask "did he do it?"... I'm turning 73 and I still get chills to this day especially listening to Vin the Greatest Of All Time radio sports announcer. Miss you.
Rest in peace, Vin. In my opinion, this 9th inning is your greatest call. Two masters at work. Scully and Koufax.
What an arm what an arm
My cousin Brian, who had flew to Los Angeles from Omaha to go to see his older sister get married went to this game and he sat behind home plate in the fourth row and he told me that it was the most amazing pitching he had ever seen.
What a great broadcaster and storyteller. You can feel the action. No one will ever do it like he did.
I still have the 45 lp record my dad gave me when he worked the game. Pops told me a story that when he was the parking attendant where the players enter, koufax pulls up in his car but forgot his ID. So my dad tells him go right in, mr koufax. And koufax tells my dad, no, you might get into trouble. So my dad (thinking inside is this guy nuts) replied, mr koufax, if they find out I didnt let you in I will get fired! And koufax replied, no, i forgot my ID and I must follow the rules. So koufax drove his car back out and parked by the 76 station.
Having grown up in LA in the 50s and 60s, Sandy Koufax was the reason I watched ANY baseball (OK, the fact of us both being left-handed may have had something to do with it!)!
He was truly the greatest baseball broadcaster in history. What a remarkable gift to be able to paint with words the action on the field. I felt I could actually see what was happening as I listened to him. Rest In Peace, Vin Scully. You will never be forgotten, nor will you ever be equaled.
Vin was my favorite since I was ten years old in Brooklyn. He was amazing and was the Dodgers voice. We loved that he was a lip reader and would tell what was being said during screaming matches between umpire vs manager. “Fertilizer!” Instead of “B_____it!”. When the Dodgers retreated to the left coast, the only times I saw Vin afterward was when he did World Series games and I enjoyed his work. Especially when my newer favorites, the Mets, played in 1986 series. He was a gem.
I grew up listening to Vin (just after Koufax retired), unaware that he was the best there has ever been. His radio broadcasts were paintings in rich description, always better than TV. I tuned in to this just to recall how special he was. Yeah! Goodbye Vin, and thanks for the warm and wonderful memories.
Greatest announcer and pitcher of all time
I miss you vin. thanks for the video
Vinnie and Sandy were the best in baseball, IMO. I missed listening to that game on the radio, darn it!
Gurn Blanston
"2 and 2 to Harvey Kuenn..... Swung on and missed: a perfect game!!!..........
It is now 9:46 P.M. in the City of the Angels, Los Angeles, California...."
I was not alive when this great moment happened but one of my favorite in sports history such goosebumps.
