Vin Scully Parents: Meet Vincent Aloysius Scully And Bridget Scully

Vincent Aloysius Scully and Bridget Scully are the parents of legendary American sportscaster Vin Scully who died on Tuesday, August 2, 2022.

Vin was born on November 29, 1927 to parents Vincent Aloysius Scully and Bridget Scully in the Bronx, and grew up in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan.

Vin’s father, Vincent Aloysius, was a silk salesman whereas his mother, Bridget, was a homemaker. Vin was of Irish descent.

Sadly, Vin’s biological father Vincent Aloysius died of pneumonia in 1931, when Vin was just 4 years.

Following his death, Vin’s mother married an English merchant sailor named Allan Reeve, whom Vin considered “my dad”.

Vin attended Fordham Preparatory School in the Bronx. He also worked delivering beer and mail, pushing garment racks and cleaning silver in the basement of the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York City.

Vin was best known for his 67 seasons calling games for Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers, beginning in 1950 (when the franchise was located in Brooklyn) and ending in 2016.

His run calling games constituted the longest tenure of any broadcaster with a single team in professional sports history, and he was second only to Tommy Lasorda (by two years) in terms of number of years associated with the Dodgers organization in any capacity.

He retired at age 88 in 2016, ending his record-breaking run as the team’s play-by-play announcer.

Vin died on Tuesday, August, 2, 2022, seven years after his retirement.
