87-year-old American treasure Vin Scully is returning to the broadcast booth. At last night’s Dodgers - Cubs game, via Jimmy Kimmel cue cards, the team announced that Scully would be announcing some more games in 2016, which will mark his 67th year doing so. Here’s the announcement:
Scully has been calling Dodgers games since 1950, when they were still in Brooklyn. In the intervening years, he’s called perfect games, earthquakes, and Hank Aaron’s 715th home run. He is America’s storytime laureate and we are lucky to have him.
