Phils massacre Necombe and Brooklyn in Vin Scully's first game behind the Dodgers microphone.
Here's the box score of the first MLB game Vin Scully called.
(April 18, 1950).
The Phillies knocked Don Newcombe out of the box in the 2nd
inning and used a 16 hit attack (12 singles and 4 doubles) to
coast to a 9-1 victory. Robin Roberts pitched a complete game
and the game marked the return of 1B Eddie Waitkus to baseball
after a near-fatal shooting 10 months earlier.
Waitkus (3 for 5), Granny Hamner (3 hits and 3 RBI), Mike Goliat
(4 for 4), Del Ennis (2 hits and 2 RBI) and Richie Ashburn
(1 for 3, with 2 walks and 2 runs scored) paced the attack.
