Last Pitch 1965 World Series & Vince Scully Koufax Interview

On October 14, 1965, I managed to get the microphone of my tape recorder in front of the family's Silvertone black and white tv just in time to catch this:

Thank you! Sandy was my childhood hero in baseball as Jerry West/Chamberlin/Bayler/Goodric­h were not much later in basketball. After all the testimony from the hitters then and what little I was fortunate enough to witness, I can't agree more ftworthxxx !!

When I recorded this tape back in 65, I never thought much about it. I'm really glad it survived to end up here.

This recorder is a 60's era SEARS reel-to-reel tape recorder.

@deadhardy I hope you saw Kdogdude26's comment that it was Ray Scott, not Vin Scully, calling the last out.

[krezzykrezz]

@Kdogdude26 You are correct! Ray Scott developed the "let the picture tell the story" style, which can be very boring, even on TV. When doing NFL games all he would say was the name of the runner and where he was downed.

Totally amazing, having to abandon his big roundhouse curve for his blazing fastball his arthritic elbow, he was forced to overpower the hitters with his blazing fastball. I sneaked my cheapo 9transistor pocket radio to school straining to hear this game.His over the top arm motion delivery generated his great velocity as opposed to 3/4 motion. being a perfectionist he would never had considered playing past his prime, no matter how much they offered him. he remains today, the idlol of millions.

[Kdogdude26]

That's RAY SCOTT on the play-by-play. But, yes it is Vin doing the interview.

[deadhardy]

what a boring call....seriously...7th game of the world series...and scully is calling it like the dodgers just beat up on a minor league team

Statue for Sandy and Vinny!

How did this team get swept in the following World Series after beating the Twins in this World Series?

[Jiltedin2007]

@herbiesnerd No, that was Ray Scott, the voice of the Minnesota Twins broadcasting the end of the 7th Game of the World Series. Vin Scully was in the Dodger Locker Room interviewing Sandy Koufax when you was hearing his voice.

I remember this as if it was yesterday. I stayed home from school which my enlightened parents always let me do for a World Series game-- even if the Dodgers weren't in it. We watched it on an old black and white TV whose picture tube so weak that my Dad had to hang a dark blanket over the window so we could see. Gilliam made a great play at third to save the shutout.. We lived in the SF Bay Area and rooted hard for the Dodgers. That took guts back then when Baseball passions were so high.
