Vin Scully has broadcast 20 no-hitters, including three perfect games: Don Larsen in 1956, Sandy Koufax in 1965 and Dennis Martinez in 1991. He also called 12 All-Star Games, Hank Aaron's 715th career home run, Bill Buckner's error in the 1986 World Series, Barry Bonds' record-breaking 71st home run in 2001, and countless other memorable moments.
