during the 1953 world series, long time dodgers announcer red barber refused to man the broadcast booth due to a compensation dispute with gillette. barber jumped ship to the yankees and joined mel allen to call the games for the yankees. struggling to find a replacement, the dodgers gave the call to a 25-year-old named vin scully, the youngest man to ever call a world series game for a major network. scully would go on to continue as a dodgers broadcaster for another 6 decades.
