Happy Belated Birthday Vin Scully, Here’s A Great Moment In Live-TV Parachuting History

During that famous Game 6 of the '86 World Series, a Mets fan parachuted onto the field with a "Go Mets" sign and a whole lotta balls. That Vin Scully—who celebrated his 83rd birthday yesterday—made a perfect call is gravy.

Oh if only that was the worst thing to happen to Bill Buckner that day. We shudder to think how Joe Buck and Tim McCarver would handle that situation.

Here's to 83 more years, Vin.
