Davis was given the tough job of replacing the legendary Scully after the 2016 season, and last night he handled all of it with grace and aplomb. It was an emotional night for Davis, too.He allowed fans to feel the moment while also telling stories to remind us all how lucky we were to know Vin. It could not have been easy on multiple levels. Scully was also a friend to Davis, and Davis knows that Scully was e sentially a member of everyone's family in the Dodger fandom.

I just tried to do my best to pay tribute to the guy that I consider the greatest to ever do it. I said it on Riley Ridley Jersey the air tonight and will say forever that there never will be another one like him. Greatest there ever has been, and greatest there ever will be.Davis told the story about the first time he ever spoke with Scully. The first time he called, Davis did not recognize the number and let it go to voicemail. (He's one Brian Urlacher Jersey of us.)Davis will now have that voicemail forever.There will never be another Vin Scully. After 67 years of calling games, nobody could fill his chair. Dodger fans and baseball fans, in general, are lucky to have Davis, though, because he did a wonderful job last night and he is the best "second best" option the world could ever have.Rest in peace, Vinny.
