The iconic announcer's career began in 1950, meaning he called baseball games for just about two-thirds of the sport's broadcasting history.

Scully called countless iconic moments in his career. Including Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Bill Buckner's egregious error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series and Sandy Koufax's perfect game in 1965.

He also called a number of NFL games in the 1970's and 1980's, alongside his stint with CBS Sports between 1975 and 1982.

Scully was on the mic for San Francisco 49ers receiver Dwight Clark's game-winning touchdown grab from Joe Montana. A famous play that was ultimately dubbed "The Catch."

Scully also worked with the legendary John Madden during the late NFL icon's first year as an announcer.
