Legendary broadcaster Vin Scully, the voice of the Dodgers for 67 years, has died. He was 94 years old. Scully was the voice of baseball for so many; from Brooklyn to Chavez Ravine and everywhere in between, Scully was there, following the Dodgers.
He covered a host of the sport’s finest players, including Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Kirk Gibson, and Clayton Kershaw. With a soothing voice, a wry sense of humor, and a collection of catchphrases like no other, Scully brought the game to living rooms across the country. A man known for his impeccable timing, knowing exactly when to step back and allow the crowd to carry the moment, Scully transformed broadcasting.
Scully announced his intention to retire. He called his last game on September 25th of that year. He retired at age 88 in 2016, ending his record-breaking run as the team’s play-by-play announcer. In his final season behind the microphone, Scully announced most Dodgers home games on SportsNet LA television and KLAC radio.
