"Vin Scully has the most musical voice in baseball. He doesn't have the clipped, old-time-radio cadence of most broadcasters who date back to the '50s and beyond. Although his timbre is thin, everything is smooth & rounded. The words slide into each other. He has flow. The melody rises and falls on the tide of the game. You can almost hum along to Vin Scully.
He's often referred to as baseball's poet laureate, and those who don't get him, parody him by quoting Emerson or spouting flowery language. But even though he will occasionally toss off some verse, an old show or call a cheap base hit "a humble thing, but thine own," the real metaphor for Vin Scully isn't poetry, or even music: It's painting. Other radio announcers can tell you what's happening on the field, and you can imagine it. With Vin Scully, you can see it.
His command of the language and the game is so masterful that he always has just the right words to describe what's going on. He paints you a picture."
