WATCH: Former LIer Reflects On Working With Dodgers Icon Vin Scully

LEVITTOWN, NY — The voice of the Dodgers for generations died on Tuesday. Vin Scully was 94.

Ken Jeffries, who lived in Levittown before being a news anchor in Los Angeles starting in the mid-1980s, not only listened to the dulcet tones of Scully regularly, he worked with him once.

"I hosted a show with Vin in 1978, a broadcast really. It was the Sparky Anderson Golf Tournament in Thousand Oaks," Jeffries said.

Scully was the event's emcee, as Jeffries recalled because he was good friends with the former manager.

"[Scully] was so nice," Jeffries said. "He was just a normal guy. Everybody loved him."

Scully, who went to Fordham University, got his start with the Dodgers in Brooklyn before relocating with the franchise to Southern California in 1958.

When it comes to when Scully stands among the best announcers, Jeffries said he is the greatest who ever called a baseball game.

"I thought he was the best broadcaster, period," he said.

Scully's professionalism in the booth would not let him play the "homer" on the air, making him a great national voice, when NBC hired him in the 1980s.
