Three Hall of Famers in one roundtable. Hear from Bob Miller, Chick Hearn and Vin Scully as they discuss their starts in the broadcasting business and some classic stories from a piece we did back in 2000.
I remember Vin calling a minor collision on the field and saying: "As Chick Hearn would say, no harm no foul". My head almost exploded! 😁😁 I miss these guys....
So fortunate to have grown up in L.A. listening to Scully, Hearn and Enberg. Wasn't a hockey fan, so I didn't listen to Miller. But we truly had the supreme broadcasting quartet.
And a few year later Bob gets 2 rings! Chick and Vin are amazing announcers and storytellers. I feel like my parents hired them to babysit us as kids. Lol
Growing up, you could hear the echo of Vin throughout the park. My Grandpa and every other fan brought their transistor radios so they could hear the master.
Everyone, including those outside of So Cal know of the legends that are Chick and Vin. But Bob Miller is special, by far the best hockey voice I have ever heard and also had the hardest job to announce due to the speed of the game.
I grew up in the 70s-90s listening to all three of them 350x a year counting pre-season, regular season, playoffs.. they were like an extension of my teachers for 25yrs .. its crazy thinking about listening to 10,000 games they called that I must have listened to or part of from the time I was 4/5 years old.. I can remember bringing a panasonic transistor radio (my grandma bought from FedCo:) to school year round or really anywhere...
There is not another group of announcers that are in the same stratosphere as these three hall of famers, Scully, Hearn and Miller). The greatest in all three sports and I had the privilege to live in California and grew up listening to them. Never again will there be so much royalty in the announcers booth. I love you guys!
I remember this. They announced it well ahead of time. I had looked for this before but no dice. I remember Vin Scully saying that he wishes for Bob Miller to be able to say, 'The Los Angeles Kings are the Stanley Cup Champions.' He did. KEEP HOUNDING FOX SPORTS TO UPLOAD THE REST OF IT.
Well said. I wish they would upload the entire interview. I actually recorded this on VHS but unfortunately, it was taped over. I'll take this short clip though. A rare treat seeing all of these great broadcasters together on the same stage.
I remember so many times when I couldn't watch the games but listened to these 3 call the games on the radio and their descriptions were so clear it was like I was right there with the team!
LA is truly blessed. Amazing franchises in the kings, lakers and dodgers but the crown on the top is that we grew up with these poet announces for many many many years. We are super spoiled in LA.
FFFF!!!!!! Legend!!!!! I grew up listen to all of them!!! MAN!!! @ the the timeI, I was a YOUNG, L.A. boy! Now! I am an old L. A. BOy 👦!!! Just like all of you!!! WHO? grew up the same way????
The dynamic duo!! Chick and Vin!! There's nothing for me to discuss!! Just sit back listen to the greater of the greats!!! LIVE IN ETERNAL SPIRIT ALWAYS ANGEL ANCESTORS Vin and Chick!! 🎙🎙
Never really grew up in the Chick Hearn Era big he is a huge important part of Laker history, and with Bob as of 2017 I know he’s retired now. As for Vin I grew up listening to him and watching the Dodger games on KCAL (the good old days btw) Vin is obviously retired now but those three men are legendary.
Vin Scully was around for so long that different generations of fans have their own "good old days". For me it was the days before Fox when the Dodger games were televised on Channel 11 / KTTV.
Chick Hearn coined a lexicon of basketball terms. What a delight. The creator of the "frozen rope." Vin I listened to when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn. I can't add a thing to what's been said in praise.
didnt listen to kings hockey but do remember listening to Chick doing laker road games on KHJ and Vin doing dodger road games on KTTV back in the early-mid 80s
