Tough pitcher.
Enjoyed his calls from the Braves booth.

I was in 10th grade when he broke in with the Dodgers as a rookie sensation pitching in a rotation with Koufax, Drysdale, and Osteen. What pressure, but the kid excelled from the start.

About 15 years ago we had the good fortune to meet him. We were staying in the same hotel as the Braves during their series with the Rangers. Walking through the lobby I (along with my then 10 year old son) saw Sutton and Skip Caray sitting in the lobby reading newspapers. I couldn't pass on the chance, so I introduced myself and my boy. Both Skip and Don put down their newspapers and spent a few minutes talking to him. To this day, I remind my son that he was talking to a Hall of Famer.

Very underrated as an announcer, in my opinion! Loved the southern wit! RIP

First Mrs. Scully. Then Tommy. Now Don,

2021 better stay the H*** away from Vin!

 

[Dizzy01]

Loved listening to him in the booth. He was the voice of my peak interest in baseball.

 

[cockn'fyr]

He could transition between color and play by play, not many can do that!

My daddy loved him, mainly because he was tough. One of his favorite things about him was when he got into a fight with "Mr. Clean" Steve Garvey in the Dodgers lockeroom. My daddy always thought Garvey was a POS. I loved him and Skip Carey calling the Braves games. Very unique voice and truly a legend broadcaster after a HOF pitching career.
