Scully was born in the Bronx and raised in the Manhattan district of Washington Heights. His father, Vincent Aloysius Scully, sold silk, while his mother, Bridget, was a stay-at-home mother. He was of Irish descent. Scully’s biological father passed away from illness when he was four years old. Later, his mother wed English merchant sailor Allan Reeve, whom Scully referred to as “my dad.” He only had one sibling, a younger sister who died of brain cancer in 2002 at the age of 65. Scully attended Fordham Preparatory School in the Bronx.
He pushed garment racks, polished silver, and delivered beer and mail in the basement of the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York City.
At the age of eight, Scully fell in love with baseball after watching the outcome of Game 2 of the 1936 World Series in laundry and feeling a twinge of sorrow for the hapless New York Giants, who had lost the game 18-4. He became a “very huge Giants fan” because he lived close to the Polo Grounds and could go to games for free as a member of the NYC Police Athletic League and Catholic Youth Organization.
